I'm Not Sure If It's Because I'm Older And I'm Thinking About Family More, But I'm Trying To Set Up This Thing Where I Can Play In One City For A Month, And Then Write Music For A Couple Months, Then Play In Another City For A Month, Write Music For A Month. Just So It's Not These Two Schizophrenic, Jekyll And Hyde Kind Of Things; You Don't Have To Be This Monster.

What Comes First? The Melody, Always. It's All About Singing The Melodies Live In My Head. They Go In Circles. I Guess I'm Quite Conservative And Romantic About The Power Of Melodies. I Try Not To Record Them On My Dictaphone When I First Hear Them. If I Forget All About It And It Pops Up Later On, Then I Know It's Good Enough. I Let My Subconscious Do The Editing For Me.
