Some people feel that it's controversial if I say that because my dad is known as a political artist. But I don't really believe that he was a political artist. I think some of his songs were political, and I think they were incredible because he was able to make art that was political and that wasn't pedantic. But I think he was unique in being able to do that.

My favourite men's clothes are like Victorian British clothing.

I actually think in music, learning technical stuff doesn't matter. You can be as technical as you like, but still sound awful.

I'm trying to use the language of today to express a general existential crisis that I think the world and I are going through.

They say rock is dead. Andy [Warhol] said art is dead. God is dead according to Nietzsche. If everything's dead what's alive? Only technology. We're in the era of technology.

I'm not trying to overcome my father or fill his shoes or reach any kind of level that he did. We're talking about a [Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart] of rock music.

You can't just pay attention to the short term, you just have to keep publishing.
