Writing music is just something that I was born to do.

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.

Classical, Romantic, and Baroque music, that's what I really like.

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.

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

All your travelling is together, you eat together, you're on stage as a band together, when you get to the sound-check the band and the crew are all together.

Yesterday I was playing Beethovens fifth, because I love that.
