I Think It Is The Weak And The Young And The Minorities That You Need To Look After To Get A Healthy Creative Environment - To Get A Lot Of Choices, A Lot Of Different Styles Of Music, A Lot Experimental Stuff That Everyone Else Feeds Off.

I Try When I'm Writing To Fill My Head And My Ears With All Sorts Of Stuff And Then Let It Settle And Filter Through. At A Certain Point It Seems Like Fruitless Activity Because You're Taking A Lot Of Time And Not Seeming To Get Anything.
