Performing was terrifying.

I loved music from the age of eight. Jazz and blues. But also Little Richard and Elvis Presley.

I like to piece together different guitarists, unlikely bedfellows. You have Jonny Greenwood playing next to Nile Rodgers on the same track, so it becomes like an orchestra of sounds.

I met John Lennon and he was with his wife in Tokyo. I met him there.

I like L.A., but I shouldn't live there.

But when I started writing songs, I stopped painting completely, and the only art things I do are connected to the career, like album sleeves and, to some extent, posters and things like that.

I can't drink a wine if it has an ugly label.
