Because of my Buddhist practice, I'm never lacking for inspiration
I'm a pretty big P.J. Harvey record fan and you can really hear New York in his record
So, once I've written a song, you know, I'm pretty happy with what the song is on its own terms.
I think in a way I was probably completely naive about what it takes to make something become a hit
It's inevitable your environment will influence what you do
I also wanted to make a record that was about other things than romance, yeah, after two years on the road singing all the songs from the first album, I got kind of tired of that.
