They lyrical content has grown more introspective and less abstract. I don't know if that's good or bad... Sometimes it feels a little raw to be putting so much of myself out there.

Each of my records has a different focus, a different theme.

There's nothing remotely interesting to me about marketing music as a product.

People are essentially losing their temper for things that have nothing to do with the act of driving.

You can't get away from who you are I guess.

My feeling is that nuclear is a distraction. It stops us doing what we all know we need to do invest urgently in renewables.

When wiggling through a hole the world looks different than when scrubbed clean by the wiggle and looking back.

You cannot treat with all the world at once.
