The hardest thing about writing my second album is that I had 20 years to write my first album.

Don't get me wrong, I love my first two albums a lot.

Like all bands, the first two albums are always the ones most written about, and the most covered. When a band gets to their third of fourth album, the story of the band has already been told.

I'll probably never put out another album because I'm a tough critic of my work, and I don't think I could come up to those standards any more.

There's a saying, 'It's easy to write songs, but very difficult to write great songs.' I'm going through that right now.

The hardest song to write is a protest song, a topical song with meaning.

I found songwriting really hard at first, but after a while it was actually very easy.

Slow, Deep And Hard was a great album, even though it was probably our least selling record.

My first album is a lot of my personal experiences. I wanted people to relate to what I've been through.

Performing is the easiest part of what I do, and songwriting is the hardest.
