I used to sort of take the phone off the hook, you know, put my feet up and watch the TV until it was all over.

The older I get, the more I think it's this listening. You listen for it, and you have a bit of patience. And it'll come until it sounds - to me, the best songs I've written, I think, are ones that I can't hear anything - any of myself in it. It sounds like a cover song, like somebody else's song - really something you've stolen wholesale off a radio that you've listened to in someone else's flat.

A devastating culmination of the elegant and the funky, a really sensational musician with enormous depth.

I like being a big fish in a small pond. I'm not interested in a huge audience because it brings headaches.

I use the name and the thought very, very easily as a sort of comfort - as a kind of comfort, in some way. And in that way, it's just like having a friend, I suppose.

And then, one day, they program a new tune, and it really catches your ear, you know, because you can be doing the washing up or something, you know, in your apartment and suddenly you go, whoa, what are they playing in there? And you run to the wall, but it's finished - but the song's finished. You only heard enough of it just the pique your interest. And you never know when they're going to play it again, of course, like a normal radio station.

I love the sound of breaking glass Especially when Im lonely I need the noises of destruction When theres nothing new.
