I started playing bass in my friend's band for some reason. It was just something I did because, well, he asked me if I wanted to play bass and he played me this song - Nirvana's version of "Molly's Lips", the Vaselines song - and he said, "You can do this! This is not hard!" and it's like a two-note song. I learned that and then I thought I was a genius.

The beauty of the collage technique is that you're using sounds that have never met and were never supposed to meet. You introduce them to each other, at first they're a bit shy, clumsy, staring at their shoes. But you can sense there's something there. So you cut and paste a little bit and by the end of the song you can spot them in the corner, holding hands.

I'm not too fond of the typical Australian activities or culture. I'm not into surfing.

I think to find an escape route out of a music industry that is becoming more and more focused on making money.

I hate when songwriters refer to their songs as babies.

It's time to find someplace where I feel like it's home.

I really think I need to find a home. I don't know if that includes a girlfriend or not, but first I need to find a home, definitely.
