Yeah. You've seen The Sun today; I've got myself a big house, settled down. Apart from the odd night out with the New Fathers' Club, I'm a family man now.

I used to go to work and take heroin in the studio and then stop when I came home.

I can't be bothered anymore about giving songs titles.

Trying to write music that's sensitive to 400 years ago takes a bit of madness, as it's such a long stretch of time.

If you don't see something as a career but as an important part of your life, you don't know how you're going to feel about it.

I'm an English songwriter/composer, working in Mandarin and trying to find something about Chinese culture that I really relate to and respect and feel some genuine emotions for - and it's quite hard, the pentatonic scale, and that, in a way, is why I think it works. Because I'm forced to limit myself to quite strict rules about what I did. Maybe that's how I avoided pastiche.

There's always been a hip-hop element to my trousers.
