One time Robert Plant was set to check into the same room after I checked out, so I removed every light bulb and ordered up a bunch of stinky cheese and put it under the mattress.

I've always loved groups like U2 and Coldplay.

So it was just a case of getting a bunch of songs that I had been writing for years but hadn't recorded together, and the result was My Own Best Enemy.

I can't wait to front my band with these new songs and play for fans, but I've decided to keep my day job too.

When things are too easy I lose interest in them so I find ways to complicate them to get myself interested.

I've never written a song that I thought was a hit.

In the past, there has always been so much pressure about carrying a show and promoting a record.
