Music is really all about experimentation and lots of trial and error. It's just mind-numbingly boring until you hit on something that works well.

I'm not particularly prolific.

The majority of the time I'm at home with my family, I play football three times a week.

The only things we have to worry about are really stupid things.

I love being in the studio. If I'm at home, I will go to the studio pretty much every day anyway. It's just something that I like to do.

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.
