I think the people who did well, or are happy, in a youth industry, they define themselves out of the business after a decade or so.

I find writing songs hard, because it does not come naturally to me. I never set out to be a songwriter or a singer.

What hurts people a lot is taking humiliation.

I have never felt in tune with the whole rock industry.

When there is a voice in a piece of music, we tend to focus on the voice. That is probably something from when we were babies and we depended on hearing our mother's voice.

If you've never felt that you quite got a hold of it, you just feel that before you die, you've got to try and get it right once. And hope that the experience you have makes up for the some of the diminishing energy.

This constant pressure from record companies to come up with a hit single or something like that, I find completely tiresome.
