"England's just very cynical." — Winston Marshall

I cut off my dreadlocks, but I couldn't face throwing them away. They were so hard to grow, man. There's a lot of work goes into those things. Some people keep a diary or a photo album to remind them of their past lives - well, I've got hair. Who knows? One day, maybe my grandchildren might want to see it.

We're not, like, hard men.

Simian Mobile Disco changed my life. They put me onto the EDM world. Although they would hate that term, they're more techno.

Class is a big issue here. And some people get picked on more than others. I think we probably do. I mean, it doesn't help that we wear waistcoats and tweed the whole time. But there is a reverse snobbishness in England towards that sort of stuff. And I think that's one of the reasons we really enjoy America, 'cos we're classless.

We play the instruments we love.

I think we're all guilty of it as British citizens: if something gets big, we go, 'Ugh.'

The trick to techno, as a connoisseur, is that you got to do two things: keep your hands down and your mouth shut.

We formed the band because we wanted to tour. That was our common interest.
