There's not much you can do with a ukulele that doesn't sound happy.

I try to find nice chord changes, that's how I love to start, and then I start trying to knock it into a song, knock it into shape.

I think from the age of thirteen, I really wanted to be a producer and I've always thought that the producer was the top of the tree.

When you do a song new live on stage, it's kind of a bit weird until it gets worn in, you know, like oiled up a bit. It's still a little bit stiff until you really thrashed at it for a few weeks.

The hairs stand up on the back of my neck at certain music.

It was a great thrill just to know Roy Orbison, so to play, sing, write hit songs with him and have him in The Traveling Wilburys was beyond my wildest dreams!

I don't actually like touring.
