I'm Not Particularly Prolific.

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.

When People Meet Me I Think They're Surprised To Find Out I'm Not Always Angst-ridden.

I Want People To Feel Good About Listening To This [delta Machine] Record, To Get Some Kind Of Peace. It's Just Got Something Magical About It.

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.

More Than Accepted, It's Encouraged For Rock Stars To Be Out Of Control.
