I don't write poems and put them to music. Just let things flow.

I don't think I've ever tried to be anything other than a weirdo.

All of my kids are into music. My older daughter plays guitar, piano, sings. My young son, he sings.

I don't like to think 10 years down the road.

I'm not particularly prolific.

It creates a conflict of interest - what songs would I use for me, and what would I use for the band.

England never felt claustrophobic for me at all. I think it would feel more difficult for me if I lived in mainland Europe. America I think is really easy because Los Angeles has film stars everywhere and musicians and Santa Barbara a lot of people have homes there even if they don't live there. You are kind of inconsequential, no one cares.
