The only way for me to compose is intensively. To pick at it over a long period doesn't seem to work.

The way to compose for me is to have lots of time.

I don't like to box myself in when I'm composing.

I don't compose, actually. I just record. I'm the opposite of a composer in my way of working. I'm more instinctive.

I just play, and I'm always trying to write songs.

I cannot write music. I cannot play the piano.

I can't write, I can't paint, I don't compose.

I don't listen to music when I write - I find it distracting.

I like to compose, but only for myself. I write my own lyrics and compose the music around them.
