For me it always comes down to what is a good song and I'm very old fashioned in the way that I like to make songs that have something classic about them whether you can play them with an orchestra or an electro synthesizer or an acoustic guitar.

I think the older I get the more creative I get, I don't have the distractions that I had when I was younger.

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.

What was great about the 80s was that you still had record companies who would get behind developing you as an artist. You had these bonkers heads of department and A&R people who, even after a flop album, would let you make another one.

Russians have a new freedom, but as long as they don't express that freedom on a public platform.
