I'm always working on new songs. With the technology these days, any idiot can record on Pro Tools on your laptop. All you have to do is plug a microphone into the input jack and anybody can have their own recording studio. So I'm always down in my basement, singing along to riffs or whoever I'm collaborating with.

Recording a song for a film doesn't take much time; it's hardly an hour's job, but concerts are constant, and so is travelling, so I've to take time out to work on my albums because I'm passionate about creating my own music. When you love something dearly, you set your priorities accordingly.

I guess my job has always been to build the music, direct the videos, to do all the things that usually fall behind the scenes.

Some people only work to recorded music because it's so reliable and exactly the same every time, which is exactly why I don't.

When I'm working in the studio, I like to be on my own because I don't know where I'm going; I want to be completely free to spend lots of time on songs.

It really does take a lot of time to make records, to be in the studio and do all that stuff.

I sit and write songs alone and then get together with people to help me flesh it out into a recording.

I look at making a record and being in a recording studio as more of a craft; You have to be so much more careful and play simpler.
