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.

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.

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.

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

Someone explained parallax error to me, and I thought Ah, with a cheap camera, it would be pretty easy to behead someone.

What bugs me are parodies - they're never as special as the original thing.
