“It is, at its root, an angst ridden ‘fuck you’ song.  The commercialisation of the world, of objects, of people and now data is mind numbing to watch. I pity this generation of intelligent, social, tech-savvy zombies… growing up with a wall of possibility and hopeless anxiety in front of them”

“It does not matter what people say about me. I wave and grin, and think ‘FUCK YOU!’. Just because I don’t look quite as normal as other people… I’m proud of it!” Chris Corner

“I would like people to think harder. That’s my main message. About themselves. About the world. About life in general. About relationships. I think it’s a snowball effect: so the more that you think, the more that you learn; the more open you are, the more liberal you are, the more accepting of other people’s ideas you are… and the more interesting you are.” Chris Corner

I am generally unnerved by what i see in the world or what i am forced to see by ignorant, money driven indecent humans. It is everywhere, everyday in my face. Fuck you and fuck the world. Revenge against the willing souls and the white lies.

“Is the concept of being “X” the same as the initial vision you had when you came up with the title “Becoming X” with Sneaker Pimps? No. My personal X is much more emotional and real to me. It is my art, love, holy grail. This project belongs to me. It is a statement of disconnecting and growing up. I became X. They didn’t.”

“...Sometimes it feels like we do have our own little movement going, but then I switch on the TV and am reminded of the scale of the creative enemy. It's a shock, but we all need something to fight against and keep us busy.”

“There is a layer of overlooked black humour which is very important for me. It may not sound funny when you listen to it but I am hysterical behind the microphone. I mean, everything is so fucked up it’s just hilarious.”
