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

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

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

I like their darkness but I also like the pop-side of the Velvet Underground.

I'm not particularly prolific.

Once I'd chosen the songs, it seemed like it would just be a question then of recording them. But it's a case of trying to re-invent the songs; taking them in different directions.

If you repeat yourself, then I think you're in danger of losing that fan base, because if you're not interesting yourselves, you're not interesting your audience.
