I still love pop music, I still have a huge pop music collection, and I like that juxtaposition of styles.

I really like working with drummers, I like being able to bounce ideas off drummers.

I've also got a kind of rule where if I don't write it down and I can still remember it it's worth remembering!

Unless somebody's actually creating something and doing something spontaneous I wouldn't find it at all interesting, to watch or to create, so, I'm trying to make my solo shows something different altogether.

As a person who has a pretty short attention span I think of music like that, completely. That's why I can quite happily change genres mid-song.

I do take a computer to do some processing live and I might use a couple of plug-in synthesisers, 'cause obviously you can take quite a lot of power in terms of sound generation on a computer that I can trigger from a couple of keyboards. And it means I don't have to take some of my vintage stuff and have it trashed by various airlines which has happened in the past. But I still take some vintage stuff with me, I'll take that risk because I like using all that stuff.

Going to public school is like living in bubble, you have no concept of what other people do.
