Promoting a record on a major label is like running a minor military campaign.

An un-named song is like an un-named child, it has no identity.

There's nothing in the future and there's nothing in the past. There is only this one moment, and you've got to make it last.

When I first started listening to music intently as a teenager, I was always sitting there with a biro or a pencil, drawing. That's how I absorbed it all.

Let there be more darkness

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.

Like trillions of others, if it wasn't for Bob Dylan, it would have been a different musical landscape. Pop music wouldn't have been my thing at all. I did also grow up listening to The Beatles, but I never thought of being a Beatle.
