It's a marvellous life, a gregarious life that we've had. We're very lucky in that way. Unlike writers or painters, we don't sit down in front of a blank canvas and say, 'How do I start? Where do I start?' ↗

I love going into a dive where they have no idea who I am or haven't heard my music and try to win them over. ↗
