I think what is great is that if anything that I do is interesting to somebody else, then I really don't think it matters at all what I had originally intended.

I knew I wanted it to be a piece of theatre rather than just a concert.

I just could not stand the idea of eating meat - I really do think that it has made me calmer.... People's general awareness is getting much better, even down to buying a pint of milk: the fact that the calves are actually killed so that the milk doesn't go to them but to us cannot really be right, and if you have seen a cow in a state of extreme distress because it cannot understand why its calf isn't by, it can make you think a lot.

Numbers are really fascinating things, and they do play a big part in our lives. They are a language of their own.

School was a very cruel environment and I was a loner. But I learnt to get hurt and I learnt to cope with it.

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.
