I don't read music; I taught myself guitar.

The husk could be some useless bloke or losing myself and changing my DNA with bottomless grief.

My dad got me a chemistry book one Christmas and I burnt the garden shed down. I remember there was the most beautiful smell forever after in the remains.

The upside to smoking is that you get to be social. I was looking for a light when I bumped into Ben Harper's manager. A couple of days later, Ben and I were in the studio.

Heaven is what we spend our lives trying to find.

When I was really young I used to collect frog spawn. I made a pond out of an old sink and I loved to spend hours watching the frogs grow.

From the beginning, I wanted to make dance music with a human element to it.
