I Do Like Writing Songs In A

I Used To Drink A Lot. I Had To Stop Drinking Because It Was Getting The Better Of Me, And I Replaced That With Really Doing Shows.

I Find That, Rather Than The Cities, I'm Very Lucky Because The Audiences That Come And See Me Are Very, Generally Speaking, Truly Kind, So I Have A Great Time Playing Everywhere.

I Suppose Ever Since I Was About 14, I Remember Listening To "sgt. Pepper's," And I Remember Thinking, "how Do You Possibly Write Songs Like That?" I Remember Starting To Try And Write Songs Around That Age, But Just Sitting Around With An Acoustic Guitar, And Try To Come Up With Ideas For Songs, And That's Just What I've Done Ever Since. I Just Never Really Stopped Doing That, I Suppose.

I Just Found Over The Years That It's Very Hard To Change People's Perception Of What It Is That You Do.

The Thing With Playing Live Is, Most Of The Audience Is In Their 20s And 30s. If You're Older Than That, You Don't Tend To Go Out To Shows Anymore. So It's Good If You Can Attract A Younger Audience Because They've Got The Energy To Get Up Off The Sofa And Go Out.
