There's no life without humour. It can make the wonderful moments of life truly glorious, and it can make tragic moments bearable.

A diaper is as inspiring as a drink.

To me, songs come of their own volition - and with an open-ended philosophy.

I very much faced my mother's death with hard, arduous and time-consuming labor. The more I would do, the less I would feel.

I made the decision to take on board the critical feedback. Reviews are something you can easily ignore as a performer or writer but I chose to not ignore them here and I think that I benefited. I think I'm stronger for it - and I have a tougher skin as a result.

Musically I'm able to keep going, because it's not about money and it's not about success. It's a challenge.

I'm very fit on tour. I try to eat well, try to sleep. But it's still rock n' roll.
