The gigs I enjoy are the ones where I'm so angry and paranoid, and I hate the audience so much, that I put everything into it to feed off the aggressive side of it. I don't actually hate the fans but when I'm feeling angry, pissed off, and full of hate, it's a good gig for me.

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

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 read daft history books. Sometimes the books I read are a bit crackers or strange.

Every day is great for me. I dislike rose-coloured glasses.

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

A lot of musicians are really hard to deal with. They aren't as smart as me.
