I made a creativity out of that messiness.

It's a shame in a way that people come and go with one album.

I'd always wanted to write a song about a leather jacket and how wearing it makes you feel. I love leather jackets, and I've got a big collection of them.

I liked the idea of writing a song saying I'm happy with who I am, and I don't mind if people think I'm some old git.

I was a magnet for people who want to take advantage of people like me, who think they're part of this life but they're not.

That's the way I work and one day I won't have the energy to do it, so I think it's always good to make the most of your life and living as much as possible.

I'm often prone to self-doubt about everything I do.
