I'm actually a pretty upbeat person outside of playing music.

That's why I played music; my social skills were limited. I think a lot of people that experience that pick up guitars, because they can't communicate otherwise.

I think that music, or at least the kind of music that I make, benefits greatly from improvisation.

You could eat sushi off my bookshelf. My cleaning regime is like a battleground. I'm Genghis Khan and my cleaning products are my Mongolian army and I take no prisoners. The rest of my life is an experiment in chaos so I like to keep my flat neat.

The process of making music is more interesting to me than the end result. If I was a cook, I'd be more interested in cooking food than eating food.

Can you still have any famous last words if you're somebody nobody knows?

I don't think I've ever gone on stage to be an asshole. I know one thing, from the past, and that's that my intentions always began in a pure way. I really want to just try and play the songs.
