I have stage fright every single concert I've ever done. I have at least four or five minutes of it. It's absolute living hell.

I get off on hearing other people's voices. I like voices: they're my favourite things on records.

I think in terms of emotions. And feelings. So sometimes what I say may not always be clear. But creatively, there's a lot to be said for that way of thinking.

I can write songs, I've had songs in movies, but I can't compose film scores, you know?

Gershwin inspired me very much. The concept of 'That Lucky Old Sun' was inspired by 'Rhapsody in Blue' - not influenced, but inspired.

I'm happy; I'm a happy person.

I still believe that something is right only when it feels right.
