I just found over the years that it's very hard to change people's perception of what it is that you do.

Most people remember me for a couple of tunes.

I like the process of writing songs. It makes me feel good.

Sometimes there's a general arc that you want to try and get better the longer you do something.

My mother features quite heavily in a lot of my songs.

I play in a lot of empty rooms.

I got very famous for a minute and then it just all went away, you know? And for the last 20 years - you've got to pick yourself up and dust yourself off and then go on your merry way and start again, in a sense, and that's what I've been doing.
