I tend to jot down music.

It's a very tempting thing to try and relive your glory days when you get a little older and you worry that people have forgotten all about you.

I've never had any religion. I'd prefer it if I did, really. Even as a boy I just couldn't make myself believe.

I find it incredibly difficult to write anything that's really happy.

For me, gradually over the years, you refined your tastes in the way you do things and it becomes maybe less experimental.

People in Italy seem to be very capable of singing along with 'Wish You Were Here' perfectly, yet it's hard to get someone in the street who speaks english.

The music tends to be an expression of one's darker moments.
