The only way artists can do things is to do it for themselves. Trying to second guess what the public wants or likes is kind of a fool's game.

I'm English and I am British. I don't know if I feel part of a music scene. Musically, I have as many feelings and affinity with Americans or Canadians, or all sorts of people as I do with English people.

I've sort of remarried a few years ago and have had a couple more children in the last couple of years. And so home life is taking up a lot of my time.

Obviously, they're all a gang of idiots. But, you know... live and let live.

It's really tough to get happy music going, you know?

I tend to jot down music.

Everyone goes to rotten schools when they're kids, don't they?
