'Dog Days' was recorded with pens and the wall, and half a stolen drum kit that was out of tune, in what was basically a cupboard. The only instrument I could really play was my voice, so we just layered everything a hundred times. It was enthusiasm over skill.

I was having a conversation with my father and he was talking about this thing - strangeness and charm. It's actually the name of the two smallest particles that there are when you split the atom, so I wrote a song around it. I even managed to fit the word 'hydrogen' in there. Isn't that a nice thing for scientists to call them though?

I used to dress like an eight-year-old boy. Traveling has inspired me to be more experimental.

I can't just have one painting - I need to cover the wall in paintings. It's the same with my music. I want to mix everything together to create more.

I definitely have a real self-destructive streak.

Hands up if you’re ready to do something you’ll regret this weekend. Go forth! You have my blessing.

In a conversation, the words can get stuck, I don't know what to say, I get very anxious.
