Nothing wrong with pop.

I suppose I was much more serious-minded in the '70s and '80s.

I think if you're a creative person, then you're always kinda looking to move things along - 'Where else can I go? Where can I take this?' From painters to photographers - anything creative in the arts - if you're a true artist, I think you'll always look to do something else. 'Where else can I go with it?' Do you know what I mean?

I could say that 'Exile On Main Street' was my favourite or whatever, but I'm more about the songs and the artists and the sound that they bring.

I'm very, very open to experimenting with different people and trying to find different methods of writing and making music.

There's more to distract people, isn't there? When I was a kid there was music and football and clothes. And that was kind of it, really. Those three things defined you as a person.

Even somebody like The Black Keys or Royal Blood, they all have this original roots base to what they do.
