I Still Feel Very Much An Imposter

I've Always Done A Lot Of Research And Stuff Around The Songs That I Write So There Are Pages And Pages Of Writing And You Can Kind Of See These Songs Emerging.

I'm A Kind Of Hard-wired Pessimist. I Can't Help But See The World In A Certain Kind Of Way.

The Way People Reacted To Me In Dressing Rooms And So On Was Incredibly Aggressive. They Know Every Record And They Seem To Think They Should Nudge Me Or Bump Into Me As They Go Past. It Was This Incredible Performance That Used To Amuse Me. In The Early Days, People Were Drawn Towards Us Like They'd Be Drawn Towards A Car Smash...there Is A Definite Relationship Between That Fanaticism And The Fan That, As A Performer, You Expose More Of Yourself, Of The Undercurrents Of Your Personality. Most Rock Personalities Subdue That Or Choose Not To Explore It.

L.a. Is Full Of Screenwriters. I Don't Know Why. On Many Levels, It's Such A Thankless Occupation.

I'm Hugely Self-critical In The Morning.
