I always lived with guitarists. When they would leave, I would just pick up their acoustic guitars and start doing finger picking and write.

Music always has to do with vibrations for me. I love to record everyone's heartbeats, in way. None of us beats at the same pace and a song is a magical moment where different entities, for a split second, meet up.

The whole point of art school is that you're going to be able to have nudes all day long and a teacher who is there to move you. It's great.

I like costumes. I am always dressing up - I'm very English like that.

I hate short hair on men - the 'real' man is something I don't know. My dad was always playing with hairbands, making rings, while the women were wearing jeans, white T-shirts and Converse. That was the uniform at home.

I was shocked when I looked at art schools in France. There's only one left that does anatomy. Now they do video. They do editing. I would go to film school if I wanted to do video and editing. In art school, it's only new mediums. It's three-dimensional or computer. I found that shocking. No nudes.
