It seems no matter what you say and how politically correctly and carefully you say it, you offend someone. Or at least I always do.

I'm not good at happy, lightweight kind of music. I'm not really good at pop music. "Cars" is probably the only true pop song I ever wrote. I wish I could write more, but I'm not very good at it.

I have a condition called Aspergers Syndrome, which is like a mild form of autism It means I don't interact properly in certain social situations.

I think any song should sound good just played on a solitary instrument with the vocal. If you have those basics you have all you need. The production then just polishes that idea into the finished thing.

I was always a bit different. I had a very happy childhood, but I could never hang on to mates.

I've always considered myself to be fiercely patriotic. I love Britain - its history and the down-to-earth attitude people have.
