I find it to be the ultimate backhanded compliment when you are compared against yourself.

Songs are more powerful than books.

There are many critics who have an idealised version of where my strengths lie.

I think when I was younger I was not very good at writing love songs that didn't have a twist.

I've worked hard, every single day since I left school. I think I have a Protestant work ethic.

I'm not going to get too sentimental, like those other sticker valentines, 'cause I don't know if you are loving some body. I only know it isn't mine.
