I'm hugely self-critical in the morning.

I have a particular dislike for children's films. I'm way past the novelty aspect.

I'm not in the business of telling people what to do. I'm much more in the business of describing things, situations and stuff like that and leaving them out there, and you can make up your minds about them.

I'm unable to really write the kind of song that doesn't have a visual element, which most songs don't.

I don't feel I'm thrown around by the winds of taste and fashion.

Everybody tends to overplay live. That's just the nature of playing live. And that can be great, but it can also kill something that's special, and intimate, about a recorded version of a song. You find out very quickly which songs you can play, and which songs you do damage to by playing them live.

I love performing. I can get to be that person I always wanted to be - godlike.
