I don't know if bliss is possible and I've always thought that my best times will be later in life.

Being in the studio is a really romantic time.

Whenever I've chosen a song because it's clever, it's always turned out to be a mistake.

People are always very nice.

It's not that I have resisted songwriting, it's just not something I felt I have had to do. I've just not woken up and thought, I must do this. But I have often heard music that I have instantly felt 'I have to sing that song'

Growing up I used to love bands like Free and ELO and the Rolling Stones. When Robert Plant got in touch it made perfect sense to me.

My parents made us do everything, try everything.
