Yes gladly !!

- He’s a pollotarian [“ If I could have a hamburger named after me, what would I call it? Er…’2D’s Hamburger’? I don’t eat meat, so it’d have to be, like, a chicken burger or something. Also no pickles. I’m allergic to them. They make my lips swell up like a Playboy model’s.“  ( 2D interview on Gorillaz Official Fansite –2006) ]

- He’s aware the band takes him for a fool. ( phase 1 interview: 01 + 02 ) He’s really not as stupid as they like to make the general audience believe. He actually did well in school !

- Of course, I really wish people would talk about his involvement with the Free Tibet campaign ! ( itunes interview phase 3 , Free Tibet gbite )

- While he’s marked by lack of ambition, I’d like to point out the fact he’s very dedicated to what he’s interested in. ( Such as getting a Saturday job just to save up for a Subbuteo set + tinkering with old keyboards with his dad )
