I feel myself developing more and more of this soul voice, and…it’s a mystery to me. Fundamentally, I just think because I feel it, it’s alright.

I guess I’ve always had such an identity crisis when it comes to other people’s understanding of me. I don’t feel it in myself but from an outsider’s point of view, I can see they must be thinking, “Who the hell does this guy think he is?” But recently I’ve been thinking, okay, a white guy can’t sing soul, but would a black person be made exempt from singing opera because it’s not a tradition that belongs to them? It’s the same kind of argument.

I just wanted to have some songs I could stand behind, and when I’m on stage just be loving it. People ask me why I did that and I think perhaps it’s because Berlin is quite a gray place and I needed to sympathize with a bit of sunshine.

I really wanted to maintain that bedroom philosophy to creating stuff. I don’t believe the hype; I think a great record is because I put a lot of love into it. If people are feeling it, that’s fantastic.

I’m always constantly battling with dry patches. I think I need a Plan B. Thankfully, I’ve always been able to pull something out of the bag in the heat of the moment.

It’s a despicable world we’re living in now. It’s the most disgusting time for music in terms of big wigs, guys who like playing the game. It’s hard to get your stuff heard. I find it really annoying actually. I think my music would appeal to a lot of people but being on Warp in the States it’s really hard to get radio play and exposure. We need to push this internet revolution forward quickly.
