When we came into the studio I became more and more me, making the tracks and choosing the musicians, partly because a great deal of the time during Bridge, Artie wasn't there.

When I was 15, I made a solo record. It made Artie very unhappy. He looked upon it as something of a betrayal.

Artie travels all the time. The rehearsals were just miserable. Artie and I fought all the time. He didn't want to do the show with my band; he just wanted me on acoustic guitar.

I'm a writer first and a singer second.

I don't call myself an artist. I act. That's what I do.

I don't think of myself as an artist. I'm just a guy who can write.

I'm quite arty. I didn't know whether to become an artist or musician but I realised I could paint with music. All my songs have colours.

I don't consider myself much of a singer. I'm a writer first.

Well, I worked with lots of different artists, of course.
