The Most Important Thing In

I Try Not To Do Anything By Formula.

For Me, Songwriting Is Something That I Have To Do Ritually. I Don't Just Wait For Inspiration; I Try To Write A Little Bit Every Day.

I'm Always Surprised That People Make Such A Fuss About Italian Tailoring And French Design Houses. I Think Traditional British Tailoring For Men Is So Good. Everything's The Right Cut, The Fabrics Are Good.

Some People Feel That It's Controversial If I Say That Because My Dad Is Known As A Political Artist. But I Don't Really Believe That He Was A Political Artist. I Think Some Of His Songs Were Political, And I Think They Were Incredible Because He Was Able To Make Art That Was Political And That Wasn't Pedantic. But I Think He Was Unique In Being Able To Do That.

I Think When People Try To Use Their Art For Political Views, I Think They're Art Becomes Smaller, Less Interesting. And So For Me, As An Artist, I'm Trying To Speak About Things In A Universal Way And Not Be Pedantic Or Small-minded And Try To Convince Other People Of My Political Views. But Having Said That, Every Day I Live In Sort Of Complete Terror Because Of What I Read In The Newspaper And What Is Going On In The World. I'm Constantly, As I Think Many Of Us Are, Overwhelmed By The Sort Of, Mass Psychosis That's Occurring.
