All Of My Kids Are Into Music.

When You First Sit Down To Write The First Song, Until You've Maybe Got Three Or Four Under Your Belt, It's Always, To Me, Like A Mountain To Climb. You Look At That One Blank Piece Of Paper And You Think, `god, How Many Songs Do I Have To Write Here?' It Always Feels Like Pressure.

I Think Being In A Band Is Probably The Only Job When You're Actively Encouraged To Be Out Of It Most Of The Time.

When I Write A Song, I Always Start On Acoustic Guitar, Because That's A Good Test Of A Song, When It's Really Open And Bare. You Can Often Mislead Yourself If You Start With Computers And Samples And Programming Because You Can Disguise A Bad Song.

Music Is Really All About Experimentation And Lots Of Trial And Error. It's Just Mind-numbingly Boring Until You Hit On Something That Works Well.

The Majority Of The Time I'm At Home With My Family, I Play Football Three Times A Week.
