I don't mind trying it out and making sure something seems to work well.

My father worked for a children's home called Dr. Barnardo's Homes. They're a charity.

On "Tonight" I think I was torn dreadfully between writing what I wanted to write, but keeping it in a style that would follow up what I had just done. That's where I feel I was untrue to myself as an artist . . . that album and, to a lesser extent, "Never Let Me Down."

I've learned to relax and be my present age and my present position. I feel comfortable on my mid-thirties. It doesn't seem such an alien place to be.

If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.

Never bored, so I'll never get old

In fact, everything I do is about the conceptualizing and realization of a piece of work, whether it's the recording or the performance side.
