My whole life I've played music for my own personal enjoyment and the idea of it becoming a machine or a business is just horrible.

Performing doesn't come that naturally to me, even though I've done it for years.

I write with a pen and paper. Never on a laptop.

My earliest memories are sitting on the beach at Blackpool, and I know that if I went back, it would be horrible. I know what Blackpool's like - it's nothing like I imagined it was as a child.

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

Nobody notices me. Nobody thinks I'm me. But then I look less like me than most of the people coming to our concerts.

I'm in the strange position of the world drifting away from me, but you know what? I'm actually quite content with that. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. I don't feel like, 'Oh God, I'm being left behind.'
