I live in Santa Barbara. My wife's American, and she lived in England for 11 years and then told me she'd had enough.

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

When people meet me I think they're surprised to find out I'm not always angst-ridden.

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

I tend to like songs that are very emotional, that strike a chord with me emotionally.

I'm not advocating violence but I think somebody should shoot Simon Cowell.

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