Just like any songwriter, I love it when people sing my songs.

It's great when you play to an audience that knows the words to all your songs, and sings them back to you.

It's amazing when you're playing to a crowd who barely understands English but they're singing parts of your song back to you.

I always make it a point to pick songs on which players really shine.

I'm very happy to sing whatever I'm singing. I've always enjoyed any role I've been given at a certain time. They've all been favourites, they've all been wonderful pieces to play.

One of my big inspirations was Chuck Berry, and his playing was always about the rhythm and the lyrics. So I've always been that way in my playing, really.

I've done a song with almost everybody in the game.

I like it when I can sing half of a verse and throw the mike in some kid's face, and they sing it right back to me.

I find myself listening to Talk Talk on repeat while I'm doing gardening in upstate New York. Their music is so languid, and I just love his voice.

I love having other people sing my songs.
