When I Write Love Songs,

For Years, I Was Stuck Behind A Keyboard Rig. When I Started Playing Guitar Onstage, It Was A Bit Of A Release - Not To Be Stuck In One Spot The Whole Night. It's Really Enjoyable Having The Freedom To Move Around. You Just Have To Remember To End Up Somewhere Near A Microphone.

England Never Felt Claustrophobic For Me At All. I Think It Would Feel More Difficult For Me If I Lived In Mainland Europe. America I Think Is Really Easy Because Los Angeles Has Film Stars Everywhere And Musicians And Santa Barbara A Lot Of People Have Homes There Even If They Don't Live There. You Are Kind Of Inconsequential, No One Cares.

I Was Born With The Wrong Sign In The Wrong House With The Wrong Ascendancy I Took The Wrong Road That Led To The Wrong Tendencies I Was In The Wrong Place At The Wrong Time For The Wrong Reason And The Wrong Rhyme On The Wrong Day Of The Wrong Week Used The Wrong Method With The Wrong Technique Wrong Wrong.

When I Write A Song, I Always Start On Acoustic Guitar, Because That's A Good Test Of A Song, When It's Really Open And Bare. You Can Often Mislead Yourself If You Start With Computers And Samples And Programming Because You Can Disguise A Bad Song.

Our Music Over The Years Has Been Very Cinematic. It's Surprising We Never Really Got Into Film Soundtracks.
