I wanted to be able to play guitar. I wanted to be able to make music hurt.

I guess music, particularly the blues, is the only form of schizophrenia that has organised itself into being both legal and beneficial to society.

I'm a compulsive musician, but it's also a bloody good way out of having to do anything else.

I must have been heavily schizophrenic all my life. The me who hears what the other me can't play is the dominant one.

I used to watch 'Coming to America' every day after school. I have full-on long-running inside jokes with friends and family about different scenes in that movie alone. Also, my brother and I loved 'The Golden Child,' so, yeah: I was a huge fan of Eddie Murphy growing up.

What I want in my career is different to what I wanted when I was 21. It's got to be something that keeps my family together, that allows me to be present in their lives.

My family are so proud of me for standing up for marginalised people in nerd communities.

Save the Children is also working to improve accommodation for refugee families living outside settlements. I met a family which had been living in a substandard building without windows, doors or a toilet.
