I get the impression that you feel... not responsible in terms for what has happened, but there is a massive interest in what you do as an individual - by breaking A Bathing Ape over here, and the music thing - do you feel a certain responsibility to tell the people who you are from your perspective ? JL: I do, but then I'm not a particularly communicative person, so I think I probably seem quite difficult in that way; but I also have to retain some of my own self. I have been going through a lot of change on my life - there are things that are more important to me than clothes - I'm obsessed as everyone else, I'm not like 'is this the be all and end all'. I'm at a period when I'm trying to make a record, and I'm in that sort of headspace, and it's much more about an emotional context rather than a material context. I think that is something that's more important for the future - to embrace more. I feel that I've had a lot of fear because of the press, and now what I realise is that I can still go to most places and play to a large amount of people who are interested in what you do, and there's a lot of goodwill out there. But it's not media orientated, which is great because it's about kids, and about people, and about history. It's probably time for me to embrace that more, and try and learn much more about connecting with people through the Internet, or alternative means of media. I didn't grow up in that environment, and I never really embraced it at the time. I don't think Mo' Wax could have existed if the Internet had existed - I don't think it would have been what it was. I still think that I had an upbringing of a certain amount of discovery and individualism. In the long term with Surrender I'd like to make more one-off type things - not to be elitist - like hand-printed tees, because there are going to be imperfections. Once you start looking through your T-shirts I bet the ones you keep are going to be slightly different or one-offs, or something that has a much more personal meaning.
