If I was a fan of someone as a teenager, then it's OK for me to feel completely in awe when I meet them.

There's a character that I play onstage, and I can't let him loose in the supermarket when I'm buying my beans on toast.

Traditionally, lots of vagrants and unemployable characters wind up working in kitchens.

A lot of bands have the enthusiasm kicked out of them by playing really dreary pub venues that just churn bands through.

It's very rare that a song falls from your mind complete.

The best songwriting comes from being as creative as you can and editing it down to the good bits, essentially.

A lot of food criticism has a similar flavor to it, and I'm probably going to write about it in a different way.
