I'm a very compulsive person, so I spend most of my time drawing or writing my diary, patching things up and carving bits of wood - I've carved two of my guitars.

As soon as it's behind computers and machines, which the majority of the planet loves, I find it cold. I need to hear breathing. I like the idea of the mic being a captation of everything that's happening around.

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

I've always found that fashion is, first of all, mainly for yourself. So my two icons are, on one side, Little Edie from 'Grey Gardens' and, of course, like all my generation, I'm influenced by Kate Moss.

There's so many good books, but I'm always like, "I'm sorry, I have five more Faulkners to read, I can't be bothered." Most of the time when you try, you fall on the wrong one.

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.

Acting seems much easier than singing, in fact, because you are putting on a costume - whereas here you are taking everything off.
