I am a big Brian Eno fan - the first few Brian Eno records are just absolute gibberish and he came up with a lot of lyrics by writing down loads and loads of random sentences and streams, and I find meaning in that music, even though he'd probably say it's absolute gibberish.

Quality is free, however - the Management Systems that proliferate it are not.

I don't need to improve the look of my own if I don't even know what it looks like.

Because I'm always so paranoid about doing corny things, or cheesy things in music, that often I probably don't make as good music as I could if I wasn't stifling it so much.

I can't write story-songs, like I couldn't write a Bob Dylan or Tom Waits song. I can only write whatever weird phrases come into my head, and hope that they're good.

I'm a bit of a gunner on the QWERTY keyboard.

I can't write - out of all the things it takes to make music, lyrics are the thing I'm by far the shittiest at.
