They are definitely hungry to get back in the studio to make another record. They've got a lot of material.

Ultimately it could mean we end up releasing another record next year and continue to tour well in to 2007.

The more rewarding part of doing a solo record for me was having more control in the studio.

Now record companies are run by lawyers and accountants. The shift from the one to the other was definitely related to when the takes started to get big.

Television is now so desperately hungry for material that they're scraping the top of the barrel.

I went in to record the Philharmonic. I wrote down the parts, and I was inside the studio with 62 pieces outside the studio. They never saw my face or what I looked like.
