It's the clothes that influence the music I'm going to play.

Like, Mission Of Burma to me always sounded almost like they were part of the British Arty New Wave. I kind of like that. I like not being able to tell the difference.

I suppose my little Martin acoustic guitar is quickly becoming a prize possession. It's a lovely guitar. I bought it at the Cambridge Folk Festival in 2001 before I had cleaned up.

Being a singer now I have to get all fussy... I must have my ginger and lemon and all that.

Most of America don't even listen to music probably. They just go raccoon hunting or something.

I think a lot of cynicism has dropped away from my shoulders since I stopped drinking.

I'm still amazed by the process of recording.
