I Consider Myself Very Lucky Indeed To

I'm In This Absolutely Gorgeous Manor House With Acres Of Quite Beautiful Countryside. I've Got Trout In The River, An Organic Vegetable Garden, I've Got My Work 40 Yards From My Home. I Don't Mind Being Criticised, But Where Are They Criticising From? Which Hut Are They Criticising Me From, Exactly?

My Place In Scotland Is In The Middle Of Nowhere, So You've Just Got A Keyboard, Guitar, A Little Drum Machine And You Know If You Can Work Stuff Out Like That, If You Can Hammer Out Songs That Sound Good Just With Those Three Things And A Voice, You're On Your Way.

I Have To Thank My Mum For Kicking Me Out At 16 And Making Me Stand On My Own Two Feet - That's How I Got Here.

I Wanted To Use A Totally Different Part Of My Brain. It's Quite Scary At Times. I Went For Learning To Fly Because It Was Most Difficult Of All. The Insurance Man Just Sat There And Licked His Lips When I Told Him.

I'm Very Used To Stages And Dressing Rooms. And Dare I Say It, Much As I Like Being At Home, I Love The Buzz Of A New Hotel Room.
