I listen to classical music at home probably more than pop music.

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

I just play intuitively and work the same way in the studio. I don't have any magical effects or anything that helps me to get my particular sound.

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

The idea of going around to somebody else's flat or house and sitting around in a comfy room and having a really good hi-fi system and listening to a whole album all the way through, then chatting for a few minutes, then maybe putting another album on . . . does that happen today?

There's no way out of here.

I don't live my life on the road. I'm getting on a bit and there's a lot of other things in my life. Our lovely children and their lives. It's more of a part-time business these days.
