I got my first guitar when I was 15. Danny was just a little bugger.

The first time I tried to sing along with my guitar, everybody in the studio booed. They all said it wouldn't work.

We've been playing forever. It works well with the four of us.

My stepfather met my mother when I was seven years old, and he was a guitar player. So he caught me messing with his guitar, his electric guitar, and he tried to show me some chords, but my hands were too small.

Rap bores me, and all the glamour rock groups like Bon Jovi just amuse me. They obviously have a place, but they all sound like they use the same guitar player to me.

I'm the guitar player in Belle & Sebastian.
