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 must confess I knew very little about the trance scene, I'm more house and commercial dance but it was really interesting and different.

The X Factor' is great entertainment, but it doesn't prepare people for getting chewed up and spat out by the music industry.

I don't think that old-fashioned idea of record companies exists any more.

There's so many singers, you watch them and a lot of it is waving around. You don't get this feeling that they're really thinking about what they're saying.

I would love to record something with PJ Harvey or Alison Goldfrapp.

I'm someone who has always been quite clear about what I like. In the studio, I'm not a control freak but I know what I want.
