As I grew older, I actually was prepared to go into fine arts school and do a degree. That was what I was actually settled upon when I was offered a record deal.

But huge photographs of dead bodies are slightly different. I couldn't find much humor there.

I'd want to read the stories that I'd written, I'd want to show the drawings that I made. That was just purely natural. So I knew I wanted to go into the arts in some way and that I'd want to show that work in some way.

I knew what I didn't want to do- that's always my starting point. The starting point is always that I don't want to repeat myself. Or I try my best not to, with varying degrees of success.

There is a thread connecting you no matter how far away you are from someone and you know I have two or three relationships in my life that are like that.

I see men come and go, but there'll be one who'll collect my soul.

I don't loathe interviews, I'm just one of those people who makes music because I find it difficult to talk.
