It was a relief to be able to do my own band, because I was very responsible for all this amazing music I didn't want to mess up before.

I did everything I could to not be a musician.

I think I learned a lot about not buying into a lot of hype. I wanted to be a kind of faceless entity; I didn't want to be Dhani Harrison and the Muppets or something like that.

I did the first backwards guitar solo on ‘I’m Only Sleeping’

I love getting into a studio with a bunch of friends. When the day's done, we've made something. We recognize that we're from different walks of the music industry, and there's no reason we shouldn't be collaborating. That's what I'm trying to create with thenewno2 - a sense of community.

I sometimes listen to music I made and find it to be something I wouldn't want to buy from a store, if there was a store. When it's like that, you have to make what you want to hear.

I did rebel. I was the rebel in my family, because my dad wanted me to go and just travel with him.
