I'm big in Russia, but no one's quite sure why.

I like the influence of the macabre, but I don't believe in ghosts.

That's part of the reason I called the album 'Shoot From The Hip.' I did feel it was time to open up more.

I never manage to get to bed early on Sunday night but this doesn't matter, as I don't know one level of exhaustion from another.

I don't think anyone doubts my motives, really. I do what I do and it's not very complicated. Of course, you might hate the music that I make, but I don't think people feel threatened by me just getting on with what I'm up to.

But I don't like working on lyrics publicly in the studio - I prefer to take them away and work on them in my bedroom.
