I felt kind of bored at the prospect of writing some more of my own songs because I really wasn't saying what I wanted to say.

I deliberately try not to cater for the commercial market, so I can't see myself in competition, you know, with second or third generation rock stars.

I write songs. Then I record them. And later, maybe I perform them on stage. That's what I do. That's my job. Simple.

That's the jazz that I like - the stuff that has a soothing effect.

A fantabulous night to make romance.

Hark, now hear the sailors cry, smell the sea, and feel the sky let your soul & spirit fly, into the mystic.

[You Got To Make It Through The World] it's kind of a survival song. Survival is what's happening and it's basically a song about that.
