I toured for 13 years, and it was very lonely, and it was hard work. I'm not afraid of hard work, especially if it's for stuff that I enjoy. But I actually don't think you could name one artist who enjoys promo or touring after the first three to six months of an album cycle.

I'm an advocate of 'it's not what you are, it's who you are.'

I love visual gags and gimmicks; I love them.

I'll be the songwriter for pop stars and then they can be the front person and I don't have to be famous.

I don't love performing, because it's nerve-racking and it's time - consuming to rehearse a whole set - and my time can often be better served writing music and just making it and putting it out.

I was weirdly obsessed with music until I was 11, and then I turned into a nerd.
