I'm Hugely Self-critical In The Morning.

I've Always Hated Narrative Songs. I Hate Those Songs Where, Basically, It's An Unfolding Of A Story.

I'm An Australian, And When I Grew Up Much Of My Influences Were American - Blues Music And Country Music, All That Sort Of Thing.

God Has Matured. He Is Not The Impulsive, Bowelless Being Of The Testaments - The Vehement Glorymonger, With His Bag Of Cheap Carny Tricks And His Booming Voice - The Fiery Huckster With His Burning Bushes And His Wonder Wands. Nowadays God Knows What He Wants And He Knows Who He Wants.
