That's all I wanted to do as a kid. Play a guitar properly and jump around. But too many people got in the way.

I'm disappearing, avoiding most things.

I wasn't always this introverted.

I do tend to take lines from other lines I like, and then write around them.

It's always been too slow for me. Playing. The pace of things. I'm a fast sprinter. The trouble was, after playing in the group for a few months, I couldn't reach that point.

I was sleeping in the woods one night after a gig we'd played somewhere, when I saw this girl appear before me. That girl was Emily. (on how he wrote "See Emily Play") "Chapter 24"-that was from the "I Ching", there was someone around who was very into that, most of the words came straight off that. "Lucifer Sam" was another one-it didn't mean much to me at the time, but then three or four months later it came to mean a lot.

Getting used to the studio and everything was fun, we freaked about alot. I was working very hard then.
