I hardly ever write when I'm just feeling great.
When I look back over my career, there was so much stress. And it was because of the business. It was always because of the business.
When you sit down and play your music for someone you respect, you get that feeling in your stomach of like: 'Oh my God...' You know if it's not great because you start to feel sick.
I don't preach or try to impress my views upon people.
'Adbusters' is my favourite reading material, so as soon as you go there, the synapses start firing in a different way. You start taking on things that sometimes I feel are out of our control. That's what basically fuels my creative side.
I'm just interested in having a handle on my environment.
