“With women it’s ‘Do what you’re told! Don’t have an opinion.’ I know that’s bad but it’s the only way it works.”

So says Knowle West boy Tricky in an interview with the Guardian to promote his new album False Idols, released on Monday.

Now living in Paris, Tricky also reveals his current relationship with 3D from Massive Attack:

“He came over eight months ago. What’s funny is I hadn’t seen him for 10 years and within an hour of walking into my house we had a big argument. I had to say to him: ‘Fuck Massive Attack. No one cares who the fuck you are.’ And he was all right after that.

“Look, 3D’s a good heart, but he likes being 3D. Which winds me up. He didn’t used to be the cool guy he is now. So I like bringing him down a bit. We recorded three tracks, but then I started getting texts. I don’t wanna be your friend, mate. It ain’t that kind of relationship. So I stopped answering my phone.”
