If you do things out of time you're weird.

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

Most comedians I know are quite serious, anxious people who find life rather difficult. As a consequence, they make people laugh.

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.

People from the past always seem to have much more time to create beautiful, intricate, delicate things that often reach the future in a kind of curled-up, capsized state.

If you make money back from your record, you're doing it smart. It's an expensive hobby. I'm lucky enough to still make a living as a musician through live work and odd bits of royalties.
