I want to hear as much music as I possibly can before I leave this mortal coil but it's impossible to hear it all because there's so much of it.

There's more to distract people, isn't there? When I was a kid there was music and football and clothes. And that was kind of it, really. Those three things defined you as a person.

It can get boring. Not the playing the songs necessarily, or doing the clothes. You know, you need stimulus.

I suppose it's nice to have some surprise in life and to surprise yourself in life and see what else you can do.

You do your runway show, and it's all over the Internet before I see anything on there.

For me, there's always an early-'70s sense. There's always a sprinkle of it - if I do it exactly like that, sometimes it becomes too costume-y or too thought out. But the influences are there, without a doubt, always, because to me, that was the part that I also felt was the most defining of my own personality and my own style, and I also think that it's timeless. You never look wrong.

I think part of what we do is there is a bit of dandy influence, always, or a little sprinkle of it. Not literal Savile Row dandy, but there's a bit of sartorial dandiness in everything that we do - every collection that we do.
