I'm happy in English studios. I just feel like there's no pressure anywhere.

If you can make it sound exciting with a joke drum machine, you know you've got something.

I'm a very emotional person. If I've got something on my mind, that would stop me from giving my best.

I do hear snippets on the radio. I do hear a little bit of me, sometimes great chunks of me. But I have to take that as a compliment; there's no way you can get sour grapes about that. But if somebody starts taking your whole new thing lock, stock, and barrel, and do their own version of it before you do it, that's not on.

If you were to plot my success or failure, it goes, it very seldom stays on a high plateau.

London is a dead duck, as far as innovative new music is concerned, unless you want to have your head blown off with some outrageous, rubbish, pounding dance music.

I was interested in the electric guitar even before I knew the difference between electric and acoustic. The electric guitar seemed to be a totally fascinating plank of wood with knobs and switches on it. I just had to have one.
