I find it quite difficult to analyze my own motives for things. I tend to go with a gut feeling in the moment.

I really wanted to maintain that bedroom philosophy to creating stuff.

I'm not the kind of guy who likes to rush things through. I like to take my time and finish when I'm finished.

People can rock together, people can do great things together, and that's what you love when you're working with characters and it's all going well.

There's a sense that, on a certain day, you want to destroy everything, even the ones you love. Humans are weird like that. You build an empire and you hate it as soon as it's done. That's because we're never satisfied.

I just throw myself into a mad frenzy, whip up a storm and see what comes through.

All kinds of music comes out that I'm not prepared for. Some of it is good, some of it rubbish, but I kind of accept it all. That's the nature of stream-of-consciousness. You can't always come up with your most lucid material in the heat of the moment. I take that risk when I play live. I open up my mind, however fertile a creative springboard it is that evening.
