The day Tarzan opened in London, I sat in a hotel room and discussed the project in detail.

I just figured if I'm going to call myself a songwriter throughout my life, then writing for most genres of music is something I should at least attempt.

I very rarely listen to the in-flight stuff.

You leave a country, they stop playing you on the radio.

I grew up in the day when the Beatles sold 1 million singles in a week. And all you’ve got to do now is sell about 10,000 singles and you’re in the charts.

There's something perverse isn't there, if you're playing in front of 100,000 people and there's 2000 people down the front who don't like, you think: what is it that they don't like?

Believe it or not, Japanese is actually easier than some European languages!
