When I've got massive projects to be getting on with, I find myself open to distractions, particularly when deadlines are involved.

It'd be tricky to read into my lyrics - some are autobiographical, but sometimes I just like the sound of words.

There was a time when beheadings were in the public mind because people around the world were getting their heads cut off for various reasons.

What bugs me are parodies - they're never as special as the original thing.

The program I use is called MED Soundstudio. It's basically a column of numbers that relate to pitch, duration, the type of sound. If I want to play a chord, I have to press keys on a keyboard - like a computer keyboard, on my Amiga - that relate to sharps and flats, note by note.

I love playing the drums - I really get a lot out of it - but I don't think I'm a good enough drummer to be playing live drums on all 10 tracks on my album.

When I'm in my studio, it usually feels like a hassle to actually press all the buttons and make music come out the other end.
