He sees the musical matrix like no artist I've ever met before.

He sees the musical matrix like no artist I've ever met before. He's just a floppy, natural, gifted kid ... He has such an insatiable appetite for the music, for the process.

I see myself as an artist, as a professional, as a craftsman and as an all around narcissistic, needy fool who went into a profession that's perfect for anyone who likes to be in a manic-depressive state all the time.

It's my role as an artist to basically destroy the obvious and recreate the obvious, to put it back together into a form that maybe you wouldn't have considered, ... I'm not into making things unimaginable.

I like Dali and Magritte. I also like the Scottish artist John Byrne, another surrealist.

The true art is being able to take whatever the writer's done, and if it is a bit flimsy or it is a bit rushed or is just box-ticking writing, then the true artist would be able to make that come off the page and sing for an audience or a viewer. I'm still learning how to do that properly.
