I started out in the 'Cure' reflecting things that I thought were important, and it's reached a point where it takes over and becomes the thing that is important.

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

I am very self-conscious a lot of the time.

I honestly don't class myself as a songwriter. I've got 'musician' written on my passport. That's even funnier.

I look thuggish when I shave my head and wear big boots. I walk into a newsagent and people think I'm going to jump the counter.

It's really easy to slide into a depression fueled by the pointlessness of existence.

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.'
