You put something you like on really loud, and you feel godlike.

I really, really love music. I'm affected by it and uplifted by it, and made to laugh and cry, and almost fall in love with the person who has made me feel so brilliant and communicated so profoundly to me.

Music bypasses the intellect, it makes you laugh, makes you cry, makes you want to dance, makes you want to have sex.

If you're a musician and an artist, you don't just stop.

I'm absolutely obsessed with The Jesus And Mary Chain and Patti Smith, but I'm a massive pop fan. I love pop culture, It's a total reflection of the zeitgeist.

I'm a crap guitarist and I find it really hard writing on my own.

I absolutely hate Take That, East 17, the Spice Girls.
