Youll almost encounter a superstition amongst musicians, people sort of go through strange rituals, what they need to do to write a song.

And where does magic come from? I think that magic's in the learning.

I was raised by parents who really admired the religious leaders of the left, as many 60s and 70s liberals did.

For my 50th birthday I just want to make it all make sense [being exactly half introvert], and then a couple of weeks later do the blow-out with all my friends.

I have a sordid past.

The very best thing you can do is to try to write a song that has some sort of impact.

I'm becoming a professional nomad and enjoying that whole part of my life.
