It may be over but it won't stop there, I am here for you if you'd only care

On the song 'Dangerous,' it feels like a teenager picking up a new instrument and writing something with all of that naive excitement.

Being sent away to boarding school at seven is as great an inspiration as any songwriter could have - to be taken away from one's family and locked away for 10 years. It does create an incredible intensity of emotion.

I don't think I picked up the guitar in the first place as a way of getting women. There are probably better ways of doing it.

I write, "Give me reason but don't give me choice, because I'll make the same mistake again." I think that's what most men want to be told.

I think the things that make me excited are only best when they're shared with people.

I used to have an eBay addiction. I was really good at selling stuff. My sister needed to get to a funeral in Ireland - the airlines were on strike - so I listed her on eBay: damsel in distress. Guys were outbidding guys to be the hero and help her. A guy who owned a helicopter won.
