Pop music was supposed to be a flash in the pan, but here we are 50 years later and it means something to us, and it always will do. It's incredibly important.

I don't think about what I can't do or what I shouldn't be doing. I just think there are endless possibilities musically, really.

There's always peripheral things that you like that you don't know, but starting with whatever his British influences are, are some of my favourite artists, and the American things are what I grew up on as well. In the end, for me, it's those foundations of the music business - those things that are a lot of the foundations of what music today is. You can hear a bit of all of those things that we talk about in almost all music today.

I don't like the royal family, I don't like the establishment, I don't like the civil service.

There's always something in most world folk musics that always seems connected; whether it's a bagpipe or a tambura, there's always some sort of drone instrument, and there's always percussion.

I don't like to get pigeonholed. I don't like it when people think they have you sewn up.

Going to college was never an option. I was passionate about music, but how much talent I actually had was another matter.
