I don't believe in pets. I like animals to be wild and free.

I love discordancy. It makes people ill at ease and wakes up a part of their brain that's normally asleep.

I don't think there's any such thing as rock n' roll anymore - it's an amalgamation of business interests.

If I'm left to my own devices, I will be tempted to make the most unlistenable music possible.

Do what I want, be honest to myself and then it would do good for others, that's all, full on.

Books are like my one and only joy.

'Lollipop Opera' is the backdrop to Finsbury Park. A place that is very thriving, interracial and lot of music stores, Greek, Turkish, all sorts of immigrant music. It's utter Englishness. It blends the Jamaicans, the Irish. It's like what Jim Reeves did with American country music.
