Sometimes the songs you think will be best don't turn out to be best.

But you talk to most filmmakers and it is six, seven, eight years trying to get things off the ground. It is incredible really.

Acting, music, painting... it's very subjective. So what I might think is a great actor, you might think is not a very good actor at all.

I think once you get it in your head, that you're not going to do anything bigger, you just do things that you enjoy, which has always been my ethos anyway.
