- He is a Playstation fan, he admitted to playing Tomb Raider (that's why Fat of the Land was delayed by so long).
- Has a son, Ace, with Natalie Appleton born in 2004.
- His favorite albums of the 90s are "Mezzanine" by Massive Attack for chilling out ("I just love the feel of it - I don't even think it's dark."), and "Nevermind" by Nirvana for rock.
- Stepfather of Rachel Appleton.
- Is in the band The Prodigy.
- He loves Japanese culture , including bonsai trees and the philosophy behind them.
- He has a cat named Charly...after the group's song "Charly."
- His very first record was Ska's Greatest Hits, containing tracks from The Selector and The Specials.
- He loves making mixes - at the age of 14, he mixed songs recorded from the radio using the pause button on his cassette player. ("Mixing tunes together was just what I always wanted to do." - Liam)
- He is a visual type that is, most of the tracks he writes are inspired by images and atmospheres, which he'd like the listener to experience.
- He used to study graphic design at school, and his workplaces (before forming the Prodigy) included: a London magazine called Metropolitan and a T-shirt printing factory. Also, he used to work at a construction site, just to save enough money for his first turntable.
- His favorite record label is Skint (the home of Fatboy Slim).
- When he's snowboarding he likes to perfect on stunts.
- He is an avid fan of horror films. Many of his tracks contain samples from films such as Poltergeist III (1988) (Crazy Man) and The Shining (1980) (The Heat The Energy). He has a strange collection of horror films in his house, a big sword that hangs from a ceiling, and even a 3' (90 cm.) green rat standing up in his sitting room!
- What success means to him: the success of an album for him is when he shuts the studio door. He doesn't care that much about album sales - actually he wants to sell albums, but he doesn't want his records to be bought by everyone, like Oasis do.
- He has been known to use soundclips from various films, TV shows, other songs, etc. to further the entertainment-value and intensity of his songs.
- He is very aware of his audience when creating the music, constantly trying to craft his songs for the highest effect for his listeners, whether it be making them feel happy, sad, or wanting to get up and scream from the building energy.
- His beats are not simply beats, but akin to "a brick exploding in your face", if you will. Multi-layered, thick, and exploding in powerful energy.
