I can make no apologies for following my heart.

But it is really, really fun to just change it up some and to absolutely be a very small spoke on a big wheel, and to just be a part of that and contribute to something that people can enjoy.

There's nothing worse than someone coming up to me and going Oh God, I really love your hair.

Dub and reggae... I play that a lot around the house.

I've always thought that you just make everything as best as you can, and then, one day, people will look objectively at what you do, from a distance, and see its quality. All you try to do is keep the standard up so that, one day, when I sit back and I look at it all, I can feel really good about it.

Playing live, you can't survive, certainly not in England. We used to work daytime jobs and play gigs at night. It was very exhausting.

As an artist, you're pretty sheltered backstage. You often don't know what's going on out there.
