Personal Life
Follin once expressed interest in the works of Carl Jung regarding the meaning of dreams. More recently he has become interested in behavioural psychology and neuropsychology, particularly in the civilising effect of mirror-neurons and their implications, suggesting that the self, in the common sense, is a social construct, consisting of foundational, unconscious copied behaviours. He has expressed that he does not use recreational drugs, perhaps counter to inferences made by fans of his music.
Follin has little interest in television, but is a fan of documentary maker Adam Curtis as well as comedy such as the Channel 4 series Father Ted, The Office, Alan Partridge and The League of Gentlemen. He also enjoyed filmmaker John Boorman's short film I Dreamt I Woke Up.
Follin considers writing therapeutic and hopes to one day to end up in a remote, snow-bound hotel in the Colorado mountains with his wife and children, though without an axe.
