Who wakes up when they're worth £120million and says, 'I'm unhappy today but if only I had an extra £2million!'

The good thing about working alone is I get a lot done and I can experiment more. The bad thing is I miss out on the gregarious, social way that most musicians work.

My reason for becoming a vegetarian was simple: I loved (and love) animals
