"I loved it. I thought it was such a sensual movie. I’ve always been a very curious person when it comes to sensuality and sexuality. I was raised by a mother that always taught my sisters and I that the body is not what’s tainted, it’s the mind. Therefore there was a lot flexibility; she gave us a lot of responsibility. She trusted us with things that kids aren’t supposed to be watching. My mom has a version of what censorship is, and it’s quite different to what censorship means to a lot of societies and cultures. I was very grateful for that because it taught me so much passion, and it taught me to feel okay with the human body and wanting passion and love. And The Hunger was an amazing love story. I loved the performances by Catherine Deneuve and Susan Sarandon and David Bowie."

"This was an insanely important record for me and a whole generation of bedroom producers. I was probably into Nirvana before that. Even though it doesn’t have lyrics, it taps into the mind of a teenage boy. It’s perfect, you can get lost in it. A lot of the first music I tried to make on my own was trying to sound like DJ Shadow, that was the blueprint. You might not be able to hear the influence so much in Metronomy, I think by my first album I was finding my own sound, but I think the biggest thing I took from this record is in terms of instrumental music and what it can be, the fact it can be even more emotive and emotional than lyrical music, it gives you quite a lot of room to think about a lot of stuff."
