I'm English and I am British. I don't know if I feel part of a music scene. Musically, I have as many feelings and affinity with Americans or Canadians, or all sorts of people as I do with English people.

The music tends to be an expression of one's darker moments.

I don't, consciously anyways, sort of listen to things with the idea of getting something from them that I can use.

I have no interest in going on a tour to make money without making new product, new art.

I haven't felt compelled to go back in the studio and do anything serious. I have a little sort of home studio thing which I potter about in occasionally.

I went to a school in Cambridge, which I thought was completely rotten. Yes, hated it. Now they want me to go back there and support this, that, and the other and I haven't managed to pluck up the courage to even face it yet.

I just play intuitively and work the same way in the studio. I don't have any magical effects or anything that helps me to get my particular sound.
