Words, for me, don't have as much contextual leeway as sound.

You can't be both a painter and a musician and master anything. You can't. And live a life.

I love a lot of people in bands and people doing weird art stuff, but i will always forget someone and i don't really want to be part of stamping the boundaries on a scene.

I hope to incorporate more variety of beats, more syncopation. It becomes very easy to play straight beats; straight rock is alluring.

When I was offered the part in Shakespeare In Love a voice in my head said 'not another tights role!

You have to think hard with a tattoo. 'What will I love for the rest of my life?'

Everybody's got cable.
