Sometimes I'll have sections that I'm not quite sure how they fit in the puzzle of a tune, they'll get moved around; what I think was originally a verse ends up becoming the chorus, or what's an intro gets dropped as a hook, things get shifted around a lot.

Have your friends collect your records and then change your number.

All the records I've put out have had either artwork that I did while I was young or something that my Dad painted.

I could quite happily just make music because it conjures up a whole visual world for me in my mind.

A big part of making music is the discovery aspect, is the surprise aspect. That's why I think I'll always love sampling. Because it involves combining the music fandom: collecting, searching, discovering music history, and artifacts of recording that you may not have known existed and you just kind of unlock parts of your brain, you know?

I do get a bit of a sense, just from e-mails some people send me, just a little sense of how people in different countries seem to respond differently to certain lines in a song.

I'm open to whatever. I think sometimes when people collaborate these days, it's a little bit convenient.
