I can't do that wonderful thing that Tom Waits and Bob Dylan do - to do imagery. I'm not good at that. I just write from the heart.

I'm not a natural songwriter.

I've still got a brilliant head of hair, which refuses to lay down.

The first cut is the deepest.

My life has been an open book, really. Everybody knows everything about me.

I do feel a certain love from the British public.

I don't enjoy songwriting.
