When I was four, I think I just wanted to make noise. When I was about 10 years old I was given five CDs for my birthday: Pink Floyd's 'Dark side of the Moon,' the Sex Pistols, Prodigy, Jimi Hendrix, and I can't remember the fifth one, but really different kinds of music. That's when I started to grasp it and enjoy it, listening to it. Then I started being in bands at school.

I think I'm very in touch with nature because I grew up in that surrounding. That's a big part of who I am; I don't know anything different.

I kind of got inspired by [William] Wordsworth and [Samuel Taylor] Coleridge - I went the old traditional way of finding inspiration, I guess.

If you watch a film without music, there's nothing that you can connect with.

People in London are so much more exposed to danger, or bad things. It took me quite a long time to grow up in that environment.

I prefer darker things and more minimal stuff. I don't like when people just put words on canvases.

I sometimes suffer from insomnia and one of the first times it ever happened I was like, "I don't know what to do with myself," so I started writing a song and by morning it was finished. It was about how I couldn't sleep... I was 14.
