Whereas for me, touring tends to be a very strange and isolating experience.

The world is experiencing great change, but you've got loads of people terrified of this change and the Donald Trumps, the Boris Johnsons making utterly simplistic, reductionist policy proposals that are unrealistic but then people buy it up.

Music is just air moving around.

For me my biggest inspiration is trying to make music that effects me as much as the music made by my heroes.

If I'm walking down the street and someone stops me and says, "Oh! A song that you wrote meant a lot to me, and I listened to it after I went to my sister's funeral," that's when it hits me.

People who meditate and have a good spiritual practice, their immune systems are stronger. Generally, they are happier and healthier.

One problem with a lot of musicians is that they remove themselves in a studio and make a record and assume people are going to pay attention to it just because they've made it.
