I write in the studio, I don't sit around with a piano or a guitar and write songs. I get satisfaction out of that because I can finish the song really quickly. I can use whatever momentum I have. I've got to put it down, develop it, and get it as far [as I can], because the excitement of the moment of when you get that idea - you want to try and hold it and build on it and really gain strength from it. Being in the studio and writing songs like that is really the best way.

I'm content with making records, but I don't want to be doing the same thing all the time.

Everyone should be encouraged...in spiration and artistic freedom is the cornerstone of rock and roll.

People sort of know me for that solo piano music I did.

In the studio you have pretty much carte blanche with whatever you're doing. You can turn natural instruments into electronic instruments.

I've just recently started doing the promo bits for the new album, and the funny thing is that the people who come to talk to me about these things seem to be getting younger. It's like the people who like the music are all young kids and they're on top of you - they know all about what you're doing, and they're excited and animated about it. So it's a lot of fun.

When somebody grabs a movement, you're kind of locked into it. It's all par for the course.
