Music became an obsession, and eventually we felt more comfortable with each other then we did with anyone else. The three of us were like one person.

I haven't really met anyone else who has influenced me, but you never know, it could happen next year or next month. I just like to go with the spur of the moment.

My idea of a good time is creating something and reading a good book.

If some people can imagine that a person they love is alive in another world, why can't I imagine Maurice is alive in this one An artist is a person who uses art to run away from reality. It's not wrong-it's survival. There's nothing wrong with me creating a world in which Maurice is alive.

With Maurice suddenly going, I realised... I think I've matured. I don't take things lightly any more.

Everyone's looking to the urban scene for inspiration now.

Music is being treated as one big karaoke machine.
