Favorite current song
"'Hyper Chondriac Music' by Muse. It's on the 'Hullabaloo' compilation. It's a slowed down version of 'Hyper Music' and it blows my mind, man. It's one of the greatest recordings."
Favourite reading matter
"The Secret Life of Salvador Dali. That's really interesting. He's very far-out, so I can relate to him a bit and all his crazy abstract ideas. I find it hard to read on tour but I love Dali. I like to read about artists, bands…no surprises there really, huh?"
Favourite current film
"I haven't seen any new films for a while. I'm not really tuned into the current release schedule. But of all time…I saw A Clockwork Orange on the bus in America. I loved that film so much. The Kids in The Hall: Brain Candy is really great. The Breakfast Club too."

"My long-sleeved Swervedriver t-shirt."

First record bought
"'Straight Outta Compton' – NWA."
First girlfriend
"That's really hard. I feel uncomfortable talking about it, so I won't."
Favourite high
"Just music. Nothing can lift you like that."
What can you cook?
"I can cook eggs in the microwave. I can cook sandwiches. That's all really, but you can survive on that if you have to."
Who's your best mate?
"Patrick and Ryan."
Worst ever injury
"I've never broken a bone but I fucked up my legs skateboarding when I was young. And I haven't got such a great back. I twisted it jumping onto a couch, that was some crack, probably the worst pain I've known. I've been lucky really, all told, because I'm pretty reckless."
Who's the most famous person you've ever met?
"Thom Yorke. We didn't speak for long but it was a real thrill because we're huge Radiohead fans. He was really friendly."
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
"My momentary lapses into extreme immaturity. I would like to be perfect. I'd like a new nose. Can I be taller, too?"
