You Try To Be Arrogant In Songs

The Celebrity Thing Is Such A Thing In Itself Now.

The Cliché Of That Sort Of Wasted, Renegade, Drugged-out Musician Of The '70s Is Kind Of Dead And Gone Now. And I Suppose That A Lot Of People Still Keep Relying On That, Or Some Kind Of Image To Perpetuate Something That They Think They're Supposed To Sound Like. But That Kind Of Takes You Away From Real Inspiration And, You Know, Real Artistic Discovery Of The Individual.

I've Done Lots Of Songs For Film Soundtracks And Things Like That-stuff I'm Not Ashamed Of, But That Doesn't Represent My Legacy With The Pretenders...i Think Domesticity Certainly Doesn't Make It Easy To Write, You Know, Because You've Got A Lot Of Distractions And I Think A Writer Is Always Looking For Distractions.
