I love this idea of shape-shifting and changing when you put on clothes, and turn into somebody else.

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.

I became the magnet for a lot of scary aggression. Cos it's scary Up North!

I'm always aware of mortality.

I'm not one of these people who thinks everything in the past is great and everything modern is terrible. But I do think cities should be a mix of old things and new things.

That's the way I work and one day I won't have the energy to do it, so I think it's always good to make the most of your life and living as much as possible.

I don't really have anything against Will Young or Gareth Gates.
