I wasn't interested in going to the school dances. I wasn't interested in going to the football games. What I wanted was to be in my room painting my walls and doing weird stuff. That's what I wanted and I got to do what I wanted, so that, to me, is my high school experience.

Apart from Scottish traditional music, I wasn't really influenced by any kind of music. I just basically followed my own instincts.
