These days i tend to use one project I do as a kind of offshoot to the next.

I have a long history with Soho: even when I was at art college, I came down to Soho to work in the summer.

I thinks it really interesting how they throw the world music samples in there. I often wonder what it would be like to do something like that, but use my lyrics and my kind of style.

Russia can be quite a dangerous place sometimes, but I never think about it.

A lot of the early songs I wrote were about the experience of going to London and meeting rent boys and transvestites and drag queens. A lot of my early material is that: the wide-eyed adventures of a middle-class boy.

I was a magnet for people who want to take advantage of people like me, who think they're part of this life but they're not.

I'm the most indecisive person in the world. I'll do three versions of a song, then think, "Is the demo better?"
