A lot of student films in art shows are samey. It's a look at the life of someone making these boring films.

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'm actually embarrassed by the idea of writing songs about myself - I imagine someone hearing them and thinking This guy is a bit self-obsessed. I don't know if I really have a persona, in that respect. I want to just make the music and hide away.

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.

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

I got really paranoid, burning every song onto three CDs and hiding them in various places around the house just in case I got burgled and there was, y'know, a fire in my bedroom. I told friends where I was hiding them in case I was killed.
