I have an armchair interest in gardening, but I don't like to get my knees dirty. I don't have a garden.

Inspiration is a word used by people who aren't really doing anything. I go into my office every day that I'm in Brighton and work. Whether I feel like it or not is irrelevant.

It's always a risky business inviting somebody on stage. You never know what they're going to do. I try to avoid letting people join me onstage because it can be very distracting, and overly theatrical.

I love performing. I can get to be that person I always wanted to be - godlike.

There are times when I think I can sing it better, but usually I find that I can't.

The way I go about writing records is that I make a calendar date to start the new record, so I have nothing. I don't have a bunch of notes that I bring into the office, I start with nothing at all.

I don't really do Japanese interviews. I don't think there's much call for me in Japan.
