I Don't Make My Living Making Records.

I Never Listen To Led Zeppelin. But, I Mean, I Don't Think Robert Plant Or Jimmy Page Listen To Led Zeppelin, Either. We All Probably Obsessed Over The Same Old Blues Records Growing Up.

You Know, There's Always Someone In Mind When I'm Writing. You Know, It's All Comes From Somewhere Inside.

It's Hard To Be Spontaneous When You Have 40 People In Your Crew, And You're Playing To 16,000 People Every Night, And There's Giant Lighting Rigs, It's Hard To Change Direction On A Dime.

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.
