Some people make their best music when life is horrible.

Music is part of the life of fashion, too.

Some people lose sense of what their music was when their life starts to get better.

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

A song has to take on character, shape, body and influence people to an extent that they use it for their own devices. It must affect them not just as a song, but as a lifestyle.

For me, music and life are all about style.

I try to write life and not songs. People live life, and when you write life, you're going to mess around and touch somebody's heart, and they'll relate to you and what you're singing about.

A lot of people these days are not music lovers - they just want to be famous which is a very different thing to what I grew up believing in.

It's hard to believe the life that 'Someone Like You' has taken on. It's proof that people hunger for great songs - and they are open to different interpretations of songs they love.

Since the early Nineties it's been very fashionable to say, 'It's all about the music.'
