“When I was 13, listening to Choice FM, I would listen to a lot of R&B from America, and whenever a British person tried to do it, it didn't really work, they just sounded like they were trying to copy that whole style. Now the music sounds British, something real rather than an imitation.”

“All really great artists, Jackson Pollack, John Cage, Beckett or Joyce - you are never indifferent to them.”
