'Tampopo' is a deeply odd film about Japan, ramen noodles, love and sex. It made me very hungry and desperate to travel to Japan. It started my love affair with this amazing country, its culture, its food, its cinema and made me buy my first ticket to the land of the rising sun.

I used to drum on the table at school. I think a handful of my school reports say that they thought I might have some kind of ADD.

When I look back on my ordinary, ordinary life, I see so much magic, though I missed it at the time.

My pure love is playing music.

Lizzy Parks. Check this out, this is brilliantShe is a fantastic jazz singer definitely one to watch from now on, she’s got a great voice and she’s a great songwriter as well

I'd like to make music for a long time, and all different types of music. Maybe I'll start my own label to get other artists off the ground.
