Being Sent Away To Boarding School At Seven Is As Great An Inspiration As Any Songwriter Could Have - To Be Taken Away From One's Family And Locked Away For 10 Years. It Does Create An Incredible Intensity Of Emotion.

I Used To Have An Ebay Addiction. I Was Really Good At Selling Stuff. My Sister Needed To Get To A Funeral In Ireland - The Airlines Were On Strike - So I Listed Her On Ebay: Damsel In Distress. Guys Were Outbidding Guys To Be The Hero And Help Her. A Guy Who Owned A Helicopter Won.

Being British, I Don't Really Have A Way Of Expressing Myself In Conversation. Music Transcends Language.

Mothers Always Think Their Children Are Prettier Than They Really Are, And Mine Has Always Told Me I Look Like Tom Cruise.
