I've had a lot of different experiences in music over the years.And not everything you do can satisfy everybody's idealised version of you.

It's what I do. I don't deserve any awards for this, it's just music. It's just writing songs. You sit down, you write a song, you record it. You tour and play the songs live, dress them up a bit differently, or dress them down.

Well, T Bone's had a remarkable career as a producer since the time that we first worked together. He was dividing his time between recording and producing when we first met, and touring. We toured together and we were great friends.

It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for.

I used to be disgusted; now I try to be amused.

Don't try to touch my heart, it's darker than you think. And don't try to read my mind, because it's full of disappearing ink.

People become so deeply attached to the sound of one period that they blow a fuse when you move on. I've heard people complain bitterly about recordings they haven't even heard.
