For Me, Gradually Over The

I Can Remember A Lot Of Nights Performing In Those Early Years Where You Felt That You Hit Some Good Moments, But A Lot Of The Time You're Thinking, "oh, God, This Isn't Quite Making It." So I Think That Is What Makes You In The End Refine Your View Of Things A Little Bit.

Being A Musician, Being A Person Who's Playing Tours And Making Records Is A Part-time Thing For Me At Age. I Did It, I Lived It And I Breathed It Every Day Of My Life For 30-odd Years And Now I Am Slowing Down A Little Bit. But It Does Not Mean That I Am Any Less Intense And Dedicated To The Work That I Am Doing Now. I Have Other Priorities In Life As Well.

I Went To A School In Cambridge, Which I Thought Was Completely Rotten. Yes, Hated It. Now They Want Me To Go Back There And Support This, That, And The Other And I Haven't Managed To Pluck Up The Courage To Even Face It Yet.

I Remember Adrian [maben, Director] Had Lots Of Problems With Red Tape And Dealing With Stuff. I Think We Lost Two Or Three Days. Maybe Those Were The Days We Had To Walk Around The Summit Of Vesuvius, And We Went Around To The Sulfur Pits Where The Ground Is Bubbling. It's Near Here. It's Fantastic.

I'm English And I Am British. I Don't Know If I Feel Part Of A Music Scene. Musically, I Have As Many Feelings And Affinity With Americans Or Canadians, Or All Sorts Of People As I Do With English People.
