I've never written a song that I thought was a hit.
I love when people get songs wrong. I love when people take something from a song that's totally not what I intended!
My joke, which isn't really a joke, is that there will be one of two tours: the tour for the album that does well, or the tour for the album that stiffs.
I think really what I'm saying is that I thrive on adversity.
The lonely heart you see tonight will not give up without a fight.
But I'm just having fun playing and giving Botox injections to the older songs.
I can't wait to front my band with these new songs and play for fans, but I've decided to keep my day job too.
But once you have some success in one style, the business wants to lock you in that vein forever.
I've never, ever in my life enjoyed playing live the way I am now.
In the past, there has always been so much pressure about carrying a show and promoting a record.
Wherever you go Whatever you do I will be right here waiting for you Whatever it takes Or how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you
I've always loved groups like U2 and Coldplay.
People take songs so literally.
So it was just a case of getting a bunch of songs that I had been writing for years but hadn't recorded together, and the result was My Own Best Enemy.
