For your songs to connect with people, they've got to mean something to you.

When you start playing music when you're quite young, it's easy to stay young. And then you're touring, and you see people who've been on the road for 10 or 15 years and they just haven't grown up at all.

I can only speak for myself, but public school did nothing for me musically. I got the impression a musical career was frowned upon. But in the arts, resistance can often be the strongest inspiration.

I'd love to do film and soundtracks, and you couldn't do much better than James Bond.

A musician has to find a way to make his music mean something special - spiritually or however you can.

I thought we did take a step forward tonight. If we connect on a couple more shot attempts and don't give the ball away at some inopportune times, I think it's a different ball game. We just have to stay positive and try and continue to build some momentum at the end of the season.
