Usually I'm only using my instruments when I'm recording or playing a gig.

I love playing piano, too, but I don't sit around doing it all day. Part of that's because I don't have one in my house - I only have synths.

I hope nobody I wrote about becomes too upset.

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.

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.

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 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.
