I'm a bit of lunatic with shoes and jackets and jeans. It's just how I am.

I love the magic of the studio.

A singer for me is more like someone who is standing alone with a microphone like Scott Walker, rather than someone who is bashing a plank and is spitting all over a microphone.

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

I think it's better if blokes can admit that they can have crushes on other blokes. I've probably had crushes but never really sexual crushes on men.

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.

My hobby is my job. it's a jobby!
