Can't really despise people you don't know.

The holy grail for a music fan, I think, is to hear music from another planet, which has not been influenced by us whatsoever.

In America, it's quite admirable if someone's done well or been successful at whatever it is. Whereas in Britain, they're not. They only like it when you're the underdog.

You're brainwashed in the West with equal temperament, so it's quite hard for people who like following rules to get outside of that and see what you can do. But for me it's easy because I don't work like that. I work intuitively.

I've got a weird balance problem as a human being, like I'm dizzy, and it's something to do with that.

There's a lot of melancholy in my tracks.

It sounds really arrogant, but my music's my favourite music ever. I prefer it to anyone else's.
