I collect fantasy swords, replicas from films, and have them displayed on the wall as you go up the stairs.

When you decide to do this kind of music then you just accept the facts.

Maybe I over-do the 'not-80s' thing. It should be a part of my life that I've got some sort of pride in, but I've got this huge chip on my shoulder about '80s nostalgia - and it annoys fans sometimes.

If I thought that any of this was pre ordained, then it takes away any kind of incentive to struggle, or to put up with things, to reach for those impossible dreams, all those dramatic things.

I've always considered myself to be fiercely patriotic. I love Britain - its history and the down-to-earth attitude people have.

I worship nothing. Not a good lie nor a dark one. If nature is proof of God's amazing creation then I have truly seen the light, and the light is black. Nature is genius at its most cruel and savage. No benevolent God could have come up with such an outrage.

There's no point in lying saying I am doing really, really well because I'm not; I'm cult level.
