I'm not one of these people who thinks everything in the past is great and everything modern is terrible. But I do think cities should be a mix of old things and new things.

If you were born by the sea, there's always a magnet that draws you back there.

I don't care much about success or anything like that. I've only ever wanted life to be an adventure.

As soon as one project is finished I like to go straight on to something else.

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

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've always loved the rock & roll element to live shows, because whatever else I do, I'm basically a rock/pop performer, and that's what I like.
