I love to go on tour and perform. I love all the parts of the process.

I am constantly being told that I have been a big influence for many people, including other musicians.

Writing is all about self-editing; it's all about being present being aware of what's happening

Right from day one, you know when you've written a good song.

Inspiration doesn't really work like that - you're not looking out for it. Inspiration is something that tends to capture you rather than you capture it.

It's a very organic process, and it has a specific order to it. I love to write, and once you've written, then you arrange. After the arrangement, you record it, and then you tour it.

So if you're on tour for eight months, a year... or whatever it is you definitely don't want arguments and I'm happy to say that I've always had a really nice bunch of people around me all the time.
