I couldn't name more than a couple of good drum'n'bass acts, and I have no idea what's big in the dance world right now.

The more I learn about stuff the more conscious I become of grave gaps in my knowledge.

If my songs are being listened to between any other songs, that is awesome, and I'm glad people are getting something out of them.

I have a hunger for justice, but art is a place I've always enjoyed being able to be free - to live in worlds that you don't have to be thinking about that all the time. I don't see myself writing Upton Sinclair books. My books are to entertain, although to me, entertainment is to make you feel sadness or to get in touch with your own pain - or fear, or to remember somebody who has gone missing from your life. That's my calling.

I enjoy hearing people who are good at their instruments and who've found a distinctive voice.

I grew up around some people whose parents toured a lot: tough on the marriage, tough on the kids.

I am at a place in my life where the more like a cave I can make my surroundings, the happier I am.
