Your job is to facilitate and improve your capacity so that when an idea comes you can facilitate it. That's your job as a human being, in my opinion anyway.

A story comes into your head fully formed, you know exactly the place, the setting, the people. All you've got to do is get it our and written as soon as you possibly can.

When you're a story teller, you work out everything. You work out who these people are, what's going to be happening. The environment in which they live.

In London, the most, the biggest thing we have is culture, you know what I mean? That's what we've done for the past 50, 60 100 years, this is what we've done. My worry is that that will change but actually, that will never change because musicians will just go somewhere else.

There's enough brackets put on us already, we don't need to bracket our creativity anymore than we do.

Never expect what you write to be any good, 'cause it's the fear of writing badly that stops you from finding the right words.

My point is is that if you are ever comfortable you're not growing and if, unless you are completely out of your depth, your creativity of whatever you are producing, you will never know how strong your stroke it.
