Coming from Britain, I was terrified of meeting all these other artists, because artists over there tend to fight with each other a lot, the premise being that there's not enough room for everybody.

The whole point of creating music for me is to give voice to things that aren't normally given voice to.

There are a lot of things I cannot do, such as eat books and read chicken.

In America, there seems to be more focus on the idea that it's important to do things differently. In Britain, it's not an issue.

It's maybe a good thing to try to make music that feels reassuring in some ways - something that's got a good feeling, a good vibe about it.

Imagine? Yeah I can imagine John Lennon being dead.

It's not so much that I'm an atheist so much as the sneaking suspicion that I myself may be god
