One of the ideas behind doing this acoustic record is that I didn't want to have to produce it by committee.

I was always jealous of something getting more attention.

As soon as a norm is established, people start questioning it, which is probably a good thing in the end.

I would be quite happy never to play any of my better-known songs again. But unless you're Dylan, you can't afford to completely disregard what your audience wants.

Generally, I have an instinct for the noncommercial. And the unpopular.

In this world of doubt, one thing is certain for me; that I will go on writing songs up to and - I hope, through heavenly means or diabolical - beyond the day I die.

If you miss someone too much you turn into them... though it doesn't seem to work for the Christian Church.
