I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.

A lot of journalists give me a hard time about how I look, but I've never met a journalist I'd rather look like.

Both me and my wife's extended family all live within a 50-mile radius. Like me, a lot of them did time in London then started drifting back to the countryside and the sea. Perhaps it's a homing instinct.

I would be more familiar with Janet Jackson than I was with the Teardrop Explodes or Joy Division, because I didn't want to listen to my competitors for fear of nicking ideas off them.

Refusing to grow up is like refusing to accept your limitations. That's why I don't think we'll ever grow up.

I think, at heart, unless you discover faith in something else, something other, it's very hard to shake the thing that you're adrift alone.
