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

I missed out on my teenage years. I led a sheltered life. I was practicing scales instead of going out there and playing football.

The only reason we wore sunglasses onstage was because we couldn't stand the sight of the audience.

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

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

I am a ham. I've no business being rock 'n' roll. I've said it over and over again that I'm a classical composer, dishevelling my personality by dabbling in rock 'n' roll.

That's what my life is, writing songs.
