I'm a bit of a hoarder, so I did tend to buy things and just hang on to them.

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

Obviously I can't rely on my group, but I don't want to rely on a laptop just to play back some backing tracks, that's not the way I do things really.

Sometimes I just experiment quite a lot. I've always got my computer set up to record so I'll just record a sort of library of ideas [that] I'll either come back to or use as they stand.

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'm not a great fan of people who suddenly manage to pull out the whole track sounding perfect from a laptop. That doesn't feel like any kind of show to me.

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!

I'm not the fastest reader or writer but occasionally I'll write things down just so I don't forget them.

There's a lot of people I know who have a lot of synthesisers and they don't really know anything about them, they know the specifications and everything, but they don't really get to know them.

Children are our future we must take care of them with maximum effort.

All business opportunities stem from someone else's inability to resolve a simple and inevitable problem.

The heart can get really cold if all you've known is winter.

We speak by the mouth

Dare to be naive.

The battleline between good and evil runs through the heart of every man.

I like being in the workforce; it keeps me grounded.

My own personal process with movies is to develop the characters with the actors and, when I've done that properly, you can't imagine anyone else, but that actor, playing that part.

War is behavior with roots in the single cell of the primeval seas. Eat whatever you touch or it will eat you.

What you feel is wrong or missing in your relationships is an indication that something is amiss within you.
