I've always felt writing a song was a bit like going on location. That's true in an almost literal sense. Where you are seeps in somehow.

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.

Life for me is about movement.

Why'd you have to say that there's always someone who can do it better than I can And don't you think that I know that walkin' on water won't make me a miracle man

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.

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

Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal. I'd still own the film rights and be working on the sequel.
