Fear is something I try not to absorb.

I like to push people till I get the truth out of them. Get them drunk, or whatever. Then discover what they really think. Push them and push them and push them.

My earliest memory is learning to read 'Muffin the Mule' when I was about three.

I do feel like an outsider, but I don't lose any sleep over it.

It's just like music when you reckon it up. It's like, listening to Pavement, it's just the Fall in 1985, isn't it? They haven't got an original idea in their heads.

I used to be psychic, but I drank my way out of it.

The thing with me, I can't talk about my work. I find it very difficult.
