When somebody like Elvis Costello comes along, anybody can make a good record with him.

The stuff I write I'm very proud of, but I'm smart enough to know I'll never get on the cover of 'Rolling Stone' next to Elvis Costello.

Elvis Costello's song writing is so peerless and individualistic. It's storytelling and it's deeply intelligent and clever.

Abbott and Costello were huge for me as a very young person.

Albums take a lot out of you.

Our albums just tend to be collections of songs really, because we all write in the group, all four of us.

I feel like I'm only in the beginning of my career. I've only made five albums. It's not a lot.

An album is such a personal thing. It's something I always wanted to do. It's me doing me, singing as me.

I'd done three solo albums in a row, and that's quite narcissistic.

An album is a thing you take time out and go work on.
