Either you write songs or you don't. And if you do write songs like I do, I think there's a natural desire to want to make records.

I would not rule out going to Israel because I disapprove of the foreign policy any more than I would refuse to play in the UK because I disapprove of Tony Blair's foreign policy.
I confess I've never felt like a passenger.
I'm in competition with myself and I'm losing.
