Our Love Will Rule In This Kingdom

My Selective Memory Of What Drinking Was Like Told Me That Standing At The Bar In A Pub, On A Summer's Evening With A Long, Tall Glass Of Lager And Lime Was Heaven, And I Chose Not To Remember The Nights On Which I Had Sat With A Bottle Of Vodka, A Gram Of Coke And A Shotgun, Contemplating Suicide.

It's Been Up To Me To Inspire Me.

My Driving Philosophy About Making Music Is That You Can Reduce It All Down To One Note If That Note Is Played With The Right Kind Of Sincerity.

In My Lowest Moments, The Only Reason I Didn't Commit Suicide Was That I Knew I Wouldn't Be Able To Drink Any More If I Was Dead.

I Sought My Father In The World Of The Black Musician, Because It Contained Wisdom, Experience, Sadness And Loneliness. I Was Not Ever Interested In The Music Of Boys. From My Youngest Years, I Was Interested In The Music Of Men.
