Usually, in the studio, on this sort of thing... you just go out and have a play over it, and see what comes, and it's usually - mostly - the first take that's the best one, and you find yourself repeating yourself thereafter.

I mean, I have moments of huge frustration because of my inability to express myself linguistically as clearly as I would like to.

If you are in a band or in any situation with other people there are obviously brilliant aspects to it, but there are also things that you start finding yourself tied to.

Obviously record companies tend to be following what the scene is rather than making the scene.

You don't want to believe everything you hear.

If you have a live reputation and your popularity is proven that way, then you're bound to get signed up because they see all those people buying those tickets and they think some of those people will buy those records, and that's what their business is primarily about.

I don't even think whether I play the blues or not, I just play whatever feels right at the moment.
