People say you make your best work when in despair, but I think happiness is a good place to write from.

I think if you're a creative person, then you're always kinda looking to move things along - 'Where else can I go? Where can I take this?' From painters to photographers - anything creative in the arts - if you're a true artist, I think you'll always look to do something else. 'Where else can I go with it?' Do you know what I mean?

Everyone gets frustrated and aggressive, and I'd sooner take my aggression out on a guitar than on a person.

I wear jeans and a T-shirt sometimes. I just like clothes - since the first time I can remember, like age ten or eleven; I was just obsessed with music and clothes. Just like a lot of people in England from my generation.

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.

You can listen to music at any moment in the day or night. Which is great, but I think it kind of devalues it as well.

I'm very, very open to experimenting with different people and trying to find different methods of writing and making music.
