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.

I sit down and create atmospheres, start playing guitar or piano and just sing whatever comes out of my mouth.

I try to get a degree of realism in my music.

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

I didn't expect us to be around after 25 years.

I want people to feel good about listening to this [Delta Machine] record, to get some kind of peace. It's just got something magical about it.

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