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

I will be the focal point for however long I decide to play. Half of me likes that idea and half of me doesn't, but once the adrenaline kicks in, I'll probably really enjoy it.

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

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 don't like to think 10 years down the road.

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