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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
