I'm a sentimental guy.

When you say something is very different to a core base that expects heavy music from you or very aggressive music, everybody tends to go, 'Oh, they're gonna get mellow, they're gonna get soft.'

There's definitely an obstacle in developing a brand for yourself that people can rely on when you're so eclectic.

I'm obsessed by film. I'm obsessed with music and producing and making things happen.

I'm a sentimental guy.

I loved the Cure and Bauhaus and the Smiths. The people in my town weren't privy to that kind of music and I got abused. I discovered the microphone to get out some of that angst.

Anybody who wears their feelings on their sleeve and has a harder, crusty shell - like I do - is definitely protecting an inner sensitivity.
