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.

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.

You don't know how to get yourself out of that deep water until you're in the deep water.

The more you close the doors, the less free your ideas can come, and they come from up here and come through you.

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.

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.
