thinking voice people
So often, the singer is the sound of the record. People think they can cover anything, but the whole voice is the thing that's unrepeatable.
song writing thinking
I liked the idea of writing a song saying I'm happy with who I am, and I don't mind if people think I'm some old git.
song thinking world
I'm the most indecisive person in the world. I'll do three versions of a song, then think, "Is the demo better?"
thinking people want
I was a magnet for people who want to take advantage of people like me, who think they're part of this life but they're not.
writing thinking people
People always go on about sleaze, but I think it's only a small part of what I write about.
past thinking old-things
I'm not one of these people who thinks everything in the past is great and everything modern is terrible. But I do think cities should be a mix of old things and new things.
thinking rocks people
When people talk about gender-benders and bracket me with George, I always think I'm not like that. I had more of a rock edge, mixed with the 80s electro.
thinking rocks soho
Soho has got to be at its centre. It's got such a history for rock, pop, poetry, jazz, writers, all those things, and I think it should be valued as such, and protected as this centre for bohemia.
thinking europe interesting
I thinks it really interesting how they throw the world music samples in there. I often wonder what it would be like to do something like that, but use my lyrics and my kind of style.
thinking singers cheese
I think there's always been singers like that and i've done my fair share of cheese as well.
thinking russia sometimes
Russia can be quite a dangerous place sometimes, but I never think about it.
thinking creative distraction
I think the older I get the more creative I get, I don't have the distractions that I had when I was younger.
past thinking opposites
I think in the past I think I probably was a little too diverse, probably went from one spectrum to the complete opposite and confusing people.
good-day thinking one-day
That's the way I work and one day I won't have the energy to do it, so I think it's always good to make the most of your life and living as much as possible.
