I was recording stuff with my dad when I was like five, six years old. I played with him on tour. I'd gone with him to Japan in '91, played some gigs, did a couple shows at the Albert Hall.

I never really saw my dad around when the Iron Maiden and the AC/DC were playing. But he knew what I was doing. I was just absorbing music. So he just kind of left me to my own devices.

Thenewno2 is sort of my little prototype band, really.

You don't have to burn books, you don't have to rebel against teachers to rebel; to rebel is to truly own your own self.

I could never just play in a pub in front of four people because I would have had all the press turn up. That way, you don't get to build up naturally. It makes the work feel unnatural, and puts a lot of unnatural pressure on you.

I'm a huge Wu-Tang fan.

Someone recently played me 'Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell' by Das Racist. That should be my theme song.
