I think being in a band is probably the only job when you're actively encouraged to be out of it most of the time.

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

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.

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

When I write love songs, people think they're really soppy - but I see love as a consolation for the boredom of life.

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

I'm not particularly prolific.
