I don't like vampire movies or zombie movies. I went to see 'I Am Legend' with an ex-girlfriend the other day, and I immediately realised it was a zombie movie! You know what I mean? There are certain rules, and those rules are things that you've seen many times.

My grandfather lived across the garden from us, and in his attic he had a lot of radios, appliances and inventions that he had made over 50 years, such as a keyboard called a clavioline, which can be heard on some Beatles songs - it was popular in the 60s. So we had all that at home.

My goal was to show that even if people work in a garage or a supermarket, they have very funny things to say. We never hear their voices.

When people are very original, sometimes they are original as a way to resist the mainstream.

The MTV Video Awards were never about the video, but about the song. Most of the time it was just to glorify people for the wrong reason.

The competition is not really friendly or peaceful. It leads to oppression in some ways.
