There's always pain around. That's one thing you can guarantee in life - there will always be a surplus of pain.

What you're really after when you see a film or listen to a song is a singular vision, and I'm not sure how much of that you really get in Hollywood.

But if you're gonna dine with them cannibals Sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten . . .

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.

It's always a risky business inviting somebody on stage. You never know what they're going to do. I try to avoid letting people join me onstage because it can be very distracting, and overly theatrical.

I just want to leave this world with a massive catalog of songs.
