I remember that I used to mix with my friends who had brothers and sisters. I was an only child.
I love my mother dearly, but it wouldn't be suitable for me to live with her all the time.
I don't regard myself as a great classical or jazz pianist. I like country music, but I'm not a great player. I just like music. Drums 'n' bass is pretty exciting and I'd love to explore it.
I don't care who I play to, as long as they enjoy listening to what I play.
I consider everything I compose a gift.
If they want a photograph, then just take it.

If it wasn't good, I wouldn't be going back out on tour.
