I don't think art is a goal orientated business. I don't do things for the challenges, I only do them because I love them, I'm not really a goal orientated, achiever type of person.

I understand travel. I understand the experience of travel. I mean there is something of the "air-conditioned gypsy" in me.

I think for me, any great art is art which communicates human emotion.

Songwriting is never one thing. I've spent as long as three months writing a song. Other times I've done it in twenty minutes.

Traveling is a bit of a push sometimes. When you're doing a lot of miles and you're doing a lot of shows, it does get wearing.

I love to see new talent, new people beginning. It's a wonderful thing, and one wonders where their journey will take them. Sometimes they ask me for advice but it's very difficult to advise people. Everyone has their own destiny really.

I like the sense of the road passing my eyes. It's always a fascinating experience to come into a new city...the sense of the people changing, the food changing, everything changing, the art.
