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'm always aware of mortality.
Maybe I was a bit harsh on some people. But I was harshest on myself, really.
I like situations that force me to rethink things.
These days i tend to use one project I do as a kind of offshoot to the next.
I thought, I might not look my best, I've forgotten half the words to my songs and I'm suffering from post-traumatic stress, but I've just got to get out there and do it.
