I've Made Records That Everyone Has Hated

I Won't Complain About Touring, Because I Really Do Believe That A Public-figure Musician Complaining About Being A Public-figure Musician Is Just Absurd. Like, 'boo Hoo Hoo! I Have To Stand On Stage And People Pay Attention To Me!'

Actually, The Most Entitled People I've Met Are Indie Rockers And Indie Actors, Because They Really Believe Their Press.

A Part Of Me Wants To Sort Of Try And Sound Cool And Feed This Myth That I'm Some Sort Of Glamorous Lothario, But I Was Raised By Women - My Mother And Her Mother And My Aunts - And As A Result, Most Of My Friends Have Always Been Women.

Over Time I Just Realised The World Is A Very Complicated Place, And There Is Not A Single Structured Belief System That Adequately And Comprehensively Describes Every Aspect Of Our Existence. So That Is My New Approach To Life And Spirituality - I Don't Know Anything, Except On A Very Naive And Subjective Level.

One Of The Central Flaws In The State Of Contemporary Music Is That The Major Record Companies Have Failed To Incorporate That Simple Fact Into Their Business Plans. They've Come Into An Industry That's Based On Idiosyncratic Artists And Tried To Erase Every Idiosyncratic Aspect Out Of It.
