Don't saddle me with your ideals, and spare me all your guilt. For a poet with all the answers, has never yet been built.

I'm celebrating my love for you with a pint of beer and a new tattoo

I try and write honestly about what I see around me now.

Don't saddle me with your ideals, and spare me all your guilt. For a poet with all the answers, has never yet been built.

I'd like to think that in a generation or two we'll have politicians whose life experience reflects that of the people who are voting for them.

If I can entertain people and get them to open up a little bit, then they're much more conducive to any ideas I might have, whether they're about relationships or politics. The most interesting songs, I think, are the ones where the two overlap.

Whether we like it or not, we live in a post-ideological world. That's how a Donald Trump can get through. He has no ideology at all: in that sense, he's a bit like Mussolini. I think that ultimately Trump will lose the election and in the process destroy the Republican party - but then I'm an optimist, ha ha ha! So he might not lose. He might be in charge of the largest nuclear arsenal in the world!
