I don't really know why I'm such an emotional person, that's just how I was born. It's a problem. It's not easy to be married to me.

Everything's stolen. Everything precious - be it a kiss, or be it James Brown - gets misappropriated to the aid of the advertising executives. So, an act of reclamation, somewhere else to be: that's what I want my music to be. Somewhere you can step into. A place.

I find everything a struggle.

And come, blue deeps! magnificently strown With coloured clouds - large, light, and fugitive.

Love after divorce is all about showing and sharing with my son what is good and right in life!

In the creative act, you kind of reach down and look for things that will, when put together, create an emotional effect.

In terms of writing, I think something happens to you, and you think, "Oh I'm going to write about that. That's an emotional event." But obviously, if you keep going, and it's something you do with regularity, you've got to find other ways to write.
