I am quite a slow writer. I can only work under pressure; I wait until the last minute.

If I have any claim to originality, I do it by investing my own personality into it, so it's coming from a slightly more sardonic, English point of view.

I get influenced by stuff that isn't even music.

For me, hearing the term 'apply yourself' was like a crucifix to Bella Lugosi's Dracula. 'Ahhh, it burns!'

Leadership is character in action.

If you are approaching the music with more reverence than the original guys invested into it, you are effectively doing it a disservice.
