I Don't Write Happy Songs.

I'm A Big Fan Of Teatowels And Am Always On The Lookout For A Good One.

I've Always Worn Suits. To Me They're A Very Practical Kind Of Thing To Wear. You Put One On And Don't Really Have To Think About What You're Going To Wear.

I've Had To Try And Find A Way Over The Years Of Writing Narratively That Doesn't Really Require You To Sit Down And Work Out What The Story's About. You're Brought Into A Sort Of Sequence Of Images That Have That Emotional Resonance, But It's Kind Of Irrelevant What The Actual Story Is. It's Taken Me Maybe 13 Albums Or Something To Work That Out.

I Write Songs From The Point Of View I Had At A Time;i'm Not Tryingto Write Songs From A Young Person's Point Of View.that Only Ends In Disaster.

A Rock Musician's Career Is Short-lived. To Extend It, You Need To Do Other Things To Keep Yourself Fresh.
