I hate to say this, but I always listen to the music and the instrumentation first, and then grab on to the lyrics later.

There's a lot of hate in the world.

I do work a lot. I mean, most of my income, I would say, comes from live performances. And then you've got publishing, you've got record royalties.

You can listen to a song a thousand times, and then, suddenly, the lyrics kick in,.... like someone is talking to you......

We all write the music, and then Mark and Tom write the lyrics.

I don't really listen to my old music.
