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.

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 internet becomes too arch. The clip is uploaded and reuploaded endlessly with banner headlines and crappy 3-D graphics. Stuff rots in this supposedly clinical space.

I'm a bit of a control freak, so I always appreciate being inside the nuts and bolts of the music - I don't like newer programs that paper over your cracks.

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

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.

Here's the thing with lyrics: Words are just another musical instrument.
