I Tried Talking To Jesus, But He

I Suppose Ever Since I Was About 14, I Remember Listening To "sgt. Pepper's," And I Remember Thinking, "how Do You Possibly Write Songs Like That?" I Remember Starting To Try And Write Songs Around That Age, But Just Sitting Around With An Acoustic Guitar, And Try To Come Up With Ideas For Songs, And That's Just What I've Done Ever Since. I Just Never Really Stopped Doing That, I Suppose.

I Just Found Over The Years That It's Very Hard To Change People's Perception Of What It Is That You Do.

As You Get Older You Don't Want To Just Do The Same Thing, Otherwise There's Not Much Point. I Think It's More Or Less Trying To Write Things That, Perhaps, Say More By Doing Less, Or You're Always Trying To Refine Things, Make Things A Little Simpler, A Little More Essential.

I Find That, Rather Than The Cities, I'm Very Lucky Because The Audiences That Come And See Me Are Very, Generally Speaking, Truly Kind, So I Have A Great Time Playing Everywhere.

I Used To Drink A Lot. I Had To Stop Drinking Because It Was Getting The Better Of Me, And I Replaced That With Really Doing Shows.
