My Music Has To Do

The Way I Take In The World Is By Seeing It; That Is Very Much Evident In The Songs That I Write.

Cynicism And Defensiveness Are Two Things Constantly Levelled At Me. Look, I've Got Time For People, I'm Good Mannered. I Usually Find That When You're Down, Nobody Has A Bloody Minute For You. If I Was A Nobody, You Wouldn't Even Talk To Me. People, In General, Don't Like You Being Upfront And Civil. They Hate You For It. They Label You A Cynic 'cos You're Reasonable.

I've Spent My Life Butting My Head Against Other People's Lack Of Imagination.

I Still Feel Very Much An Imposter In The Whole Music Scene, Which I'm Quite Happy About To Be Honest.

Outside The World Of Politics, One Person In The World Of The Arts I Would Mention As An Influence Is Nick Cave, Another Person Who Has Been Around Since The Late 1970s. He Has Developed And Changed Remarkably, Whilst Remaining True To His Vision. He Has Been A Great Help To Me As Well, Without His Knowing It.
