I don't think of my music as something that works well in the background. And because a lot of it isn't in 4/4, people might not like to dance to it.

I might've set out to write a particular song about a particular girl, but my experience will run out after four lines, so instead of getting obsessed with the girl, I write about the clothes I'm wearing.

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.

It's easy to not work on my album. I go out to the cinema, catch up with friends, eat, watch "Curb Your Enthusiasm" - that sort of thing.

I love the finished product, but I find working in the studio a chore - I use an old-fashioned setup, so the recording process can be frustrating.

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

Making music is a total hassle, really.
