I've never had any religion. I'd prefer it if I did, really. Even as a boy I just couldn't make myself believe.

Little ideas can pop into one's head at any time, and if I'm being reasonably efficient I've got it close enough to hand, then I pop that little tiny moment of a few seconds down onto a tape and then I can forget about it for... years sometimes.

The internet seems to be what a lot of independent bands are doing these days. They're bypassing the studio - the big studios, EMI and all the record companies - and just doing it themselves, online, selling their stuff, getting known through that medium.

People being incredibly rude and playing music incredibly badly and being incredibly obnoxious has always been a teenage sort of thing.

I'm an atheist, and I don't have any belief in an afterlife.

I actually learned the guitar with the help of a Pete Seeger instructional record when I was 13 or 14.

I tend to fly old airplanes and old sort of things that are nearly about as old as me. Biplanes and stuff like that.
