I think the biggest influence for me is when I hear a great piece of music, whatever the style, I'm kind of inspired by that greatness and I'm inspired to try and obtain something that comes close to that greatness.

I'm definitely obsessed about artists and the type of music and the playing and the tone and all that kind of thing - I'm not obsessed about what the best Beatles album is. I just think if The Beatles are great, they're great.

I look for that stimulation constantly. I'm looking for inspiration and stimulation. Not bored with what we've done.

When I'm dead I wanna leave a body of work, like authors or great painters do.

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

The Jam were a good band, however I feel that the Style Council were better. A lot of people I know will disagree with me. Some things we did with The Style Council were misinterpreted or over their heads.

If you're into a certain band, you're into the way they dress.
