I am not interested in anything that doesn't have a genuine heart to it. You've got to have soul in the hole. If that isn't there, I don't see the point.

We are still struggling with people who don't feel comfortable going into museums. As a visual artist I ask how artists can be part of enacting a change.

Who knows their own story? It certainly makes no sense when you’re in the middle of it

People think I'm a miserable sod but it's only because I get asked such bloody miserable questions.

I write songs in batches and then record them and then can't write again for ages. I try and build one song upon another, they may not obviously look inter-related but often one song acts as a springboard into another.

Jesus Christ was the biggest blight on the human race, he was. And all them socialists and communists - second rate Christianity.

You can't trust an artist that just makes good records.
