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

I can see that in retrospect but I guess I've always had such an identity crisis when it comes to other people's understanding of me.

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.

There's very much a domino effect when I'm playing. In fact, that's a good way of putting it. I'm trying to topple all the dominos in a single stroke. That would be a show with perfect momentum. Every now and again, you get one of those dominos that moves to the side a little bit, traps things and you have to stand them all up again and see if people will go with you. They'll let you off a few times but if you make too many mistakes they'll get a bit anxious.

The most important thing for me - and the thing I get frustrated about when I don't achieve it - is momentum. Sometimes you hit on it quite naturally and other times it's a mad struggle.

If a shop has a lot of sections I'll end up putting my record above the James Blunt CDs since he ripped off my bloody artwork and he's selling millions of records! I try to get people to buy mine accidentally.

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