When we recorded our first album sixteen track machines were the thing.

I couldn't have recorded this record 15 years ago. My voice didn't have the depth to pull these songs off.

The first record I spent five years writing and it was an amalgamation of all the things that happened in my life from the time I was fifteen to the time I was twenty.

When the label came to me to say, 'would you like to do another record,' I said, 'Well I got these sixteen songs sitting here, so let's do it.' And that was pretty much it... I never stopped writing, it's just the way that the business is now; you just try to find a different model.

But I remember we sold nearly 18,000 records in one day.

I started young. My first record came out when I was - what? 18? So I was in the studio when I was 15, 16.

My first album came out in 1979.

I started writing songs at 17.

I guess I've been making records since I was 16, and even when 50 people bought them, I thought that was amazing.
