There are five things to write songs about: I'm leaving you. You're leaving me. I want you. You don't want me. I believe in something. Five subjects, and 12 notes. For all that, we musicians do pretty well.

These are the sort of things that push you on in music - the curiosity, a passion for new ideas.

If I am frightened then I can hide it If I am crying, I'll call it laughter If I am haunted, I'll call it my imaginary friend If I am bleeding I'll call it wine But if you leave me then I am broken And if I'm broken then only death remains

Life for me is about movement.

I've had an unusual life. A life far removed from most people's experience.

For all the courage that we never had, I'm just about glad.

Though the passion still flutters and flickers, it never got into our knickers.
