I Do Like Writing Songs

I Had A Very Strange Career. I Mean I Went From Playing To 150,000 People In 1983/84. Three Or Four Years Later I Was Playing To Four People, You Know, In Melbourne. I Thought - Bit Strange, You Know Bit Odd, Bit Erratic.

The Thing With Playing Live Is, Most Of The Audience Is In Their 20s And 30s. If You're Older Than That, You Don't Tend To Go Out To Shows Anymore. So It's Good If You Can Attract A Younger Audience Because They've Got The Energy To Get Up Off The Sofa And Go Out.

I Tend To Write, Either Myself, Or I Sometimes Write With A Co-writer, My Friend That Lives Up The Road. It's Usually A Relatively Solitary Thing, But I Do Like Coming Up With Ideas.

It's Frustrating To Do Albums That You Think Are Worth Listening To, But It's Just So Difficult To Cut Through.

I Find That, Rather Than The Cities, I'm Very Lucky Because The Audiences That Come And See Me Are Very, Generally Speaking, Truly Kind, So I Have A Great Time Playing Everywhere.
