It's easy to not work on my album. I go out to the cinema, catch up with friends, eat, watch "Curb Your Enthusiasm" - that sort of thing.

When I'm in my studio, it usually feels like a hassle to actually press all the buttons and make music come out the other end.

When I've got massive projects to be getting on with, I find myself open to distractions, particularly when deadlines are involved.

I hope nobody I wrote about becomes too upset.

Making music is a total hassle, really.

What bugs me are parodies - they're never as special as the original thing.

I love the finished product, but I find working in the studio a chore - I use an old-fashioned setup, so the recording process can be frustrating.
