When I'm writing I've been playing something for a couple of hours and I'm almost in a trance. At two or three in the morning you can actually see bits of inspiration floating about and grab them.

We deliberately chose a small theatre so that the show was still intimate and the audience would become a part of the show.

I'd become very involved in the production, so the albums were taking longer. So it was never a deliberate decision not to do live shows. A few times, I've thought about doing them again, but it's just kind of never happened. I've just sort of gone the path of becoming a recording artist I guess.

Quite often, lyrics get misunderstood - and I never mind that. I guess what all artists want is for their work to touch someone or for it to bethought provoking.

There are a lot of very strong connections with music and mathematics. They both can work in patterns and sequences and repetitions.

What made it special made it dangerous, so I bury it... and forget.

Chips of plutonium are twinkling in every lung.
