When people talk about gender-benders and bracket me with George, I always think I'm not like that. I had more of a rock edge, mixed with the 80s electro.

I can't read music and I'm crap at learning lyrics. Especially since the accident I have memory problems. I can't remember words, names, places.

A lot of youth today have become very narrow and conservative in a way, whereas we in the older generation are kind of living it.

We just kind saw the images and knew the cliches, so to have the opportunity to go there and learn something about Russian music and about Russian people and to see things apart from being a tourist.

I can imagine moving out to the seaside at some point. I like Brighton, my sister lives there. I'm a seaside boy and whenever I go there, I find myself writing songs about it.

My next record I really just want it to be a collection of great songs, classic songs in a way.

I think the older I get the more creative I get, I don't have the distractions that I had when I was younger.
