Grunge, like Nirvana and all that. Heavy metal, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Guns and Roses, drum and bass. I like to listen to it and try and break down what makes a fan of that music say \'Ah fuck that other music\', do you get me? Trying to figure out what makes them tick, I always try and break that down with every piece of music. But the energy in that music, I love it.

I just know that he\'s Robbie Williams - he\'s massive, that\'s all I know! He nailed it. Working in the studio with him was cool. I got there at about six in the afternoon and then stayed until six in the morning. We only worked for like two hours, the rest of the time we were just chilling out the back. The way Robbie handles everything... he\'s a star, but there were never any pretensions, no ego. He put effort in.

There\'s a lot going on music-wise in L.A. It\'s a wicked place to wake up, there\'s sunshine, you go to the studio, see all these really talented producers.

Sometimes you might get inspired by something, write about it, then later that lyrics sounds better on another beat. That\'s happened a few times. Like \'Dance Wiv Me\' - those lyrics didn\'t start on that beat.
