You Know, There's Always Someone In Mind

When I'm Writing With Just An Acoustic Guitar, It Can Be For Anyone.

My Mum's Family Would All Get Together, With Guitars, Harmonica, Mandolins And Upright Bass And Play Old Blues And Folk Songs. That Was Normal To Me.

That Culture, Of Looking At Catchy Music As A Negative Thing, Is Weird. It Has Nothing To Do With Me, Or The Music I Was Into Growing Up. The Stones And The Beatles Only Tried To Write Hits. Every Motown Song, Every Credence Clearwater Song - They Were Trying To Write Hits.

Hip Hop Is The New Rock N' Roll, You Know What I Mean? And Anybody Who Doesn't Think That Is Just Sort Of Living In The Past. It's All Just American Music, Really, When You Get Right Down To It.

I'm Certainly Not Your Typical Front-man Material. Some People Love Being On Stage And Really Open Up, And I'm Sort Of The Opposite Of That. I Don't Crave The Spotlight. I'm Still Not Comfortable Even Talking On Stage.
