Im the shyest megalomaniac youre ever likely to meet.

Its so fascinating to think about how each snowflake is completely individual - there are millions and millions of them, but each one is so unique.

I had friends but I was spending a great deal of my time alone and for me that was vital because there's an awful lot you learn about yourself when you're alone.

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.

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