It's great fun if you get a good piece of writing and you can pretend to be someone else, tell a story that needs to be told, make some kind of connection. I've always fancied myself as a leading man, but I really doubt whether anyone else sees me that way.

It strikes me there's a bunch of people in power who have really strong intentions of running the world and adjusting the world to exactly how they see it.

I can't remember too much about the '80s, to be honest with you... I wish that weren't true, but it is.

It's frustrating to do albums that you think are worth listening to, but it's just so difficult to cut through.
- Beautiful
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In Scotland, beautiful as it is, it was always raining. Even when it wasn't raining, it was about to rain, or had just rained. It's a very angry sky.
- Mother
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was brought up west southwest coast of Scotland and my mother and father had a music shop, and so I was surrounded by pianos and drums and guitars, and music, of course.
- Lot

I play in a lot of empty rooms.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The thing with playing live is, most of the audience is in their 20s and 30s. If you're older than that, you don't tend to go out to shows anymore. So it's good if you can attract a younger audience because they've got the energy to get up off the sofa and go out.
- Famous

I had a very erratic career. I got very famous for a minute and then it just all went away, you know?

- Nov 07, 2020
Well, my thoughts about California are kind of mythological. To me, as well as being a real place, it's a place where people go to find something - to find happiness or to realize their dreams. So it has that kind of quality of heroism and heartache, and Australia has that, as well.
- Mother

- Nov 07, 2020
My mother features quite heavily in a lot of my songs.
- Good Thing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Men at Work thing is always there, it's always going to be there. It's not something I consciously think that much about anymore. The thing that stays with you is the songs, which is a good thing for me, because the songs are the things that stand the test of time.
