I don't fall into the category of tortured artist. But it's not made me more or less anything.

I'm a little bit of a control freak when it comes to my music, unfortunately.

As I get older, I don't aggressively pursue songs. All the great ones just appear.

Frontmen come alive when they come onstage.

I don't live to work; I work to live.

Writing songs, that's what gets me going. Not the drugs or the sex or the rock'n'roll behaviour, it's the music.

I'm not technically proficient enough to attempt all kinds of music.
