The thing that I've always been slightly frustrated with, was that the idea of a CD is kind of confined to a material possession that you can put on a shelf. And the idea of music, for me, is always about both the communication and the sharing of content. And so the interactive part is missing.

I make a lot of pieces of music that I never release as CDs.

It's nice to finally have a CD out which reflects my songwriting, my singing and the band that I have.

The only advantage of the CD is that you have a booklet that can tell a bit of a story, but the little covers are just boring. I love vinyl, and I have loads of it. It's the same thing as digital photography versus film photography. It's a quality thing.

I've been in the studio experimenting on making a CD of my own. I'm trying out different producers, styles, sounds. With music, as opposed to acting, you are not playing a character. You are showing people who you are. I really want to have my spirit in it.

There's a lot about records that you cannot feel from a CD.

I consider a CD or a comedy collection as a record of what I've been doing, and I try to wrap it up and start new material.

It's not my style to be thinking about what a record is while I'm making it: I just write songs.

It's really fun to get into that process of creating an album and telling a story. I really love it.

I am not a huge follower of music and tend to like one CD and play it to death, usually when I am washing up.
