I Have A Particular Dislike For Children's

I Write Songs In Batches And Then Record Them And Then Can't Write Again For Ages. I Try And Build One Song Upon Another, They May Not Obviously Look Inter-related But Often One Song Acts As A Springboard Into Another.

I Lost My Innocence With Johnny Cash. I Used To Watch The Johnny Cash Show On Television In Wangaratta When I Was About 9 Or 10 Years Old. At That Stage I Had Really No Idea About Rock'n'roll. I Watched Him And From That Point I Saw That Music Could Be An Evil Thing, A Beautiful, Evil Thing.

Well, As Anyone Who Actually Writes Knows, If You Sit Down And Are Prepared, Then The Ideas Come. There's A Lot Of Different Ways People Explain That, But, You Know, I Find That If I Sit Down And I Prepare Myself, Generally Things Get Done.

There's Always Pain Around. That's One Thing You Can Guarantee In Life - There Will Always Be A Surplus Of Pain.

If I'm Hanging Around Too Much, My Wife And Kids Say, 'hey, Why Don't You Go Downstairs And Start A New Novel?'
