I sing songs that I have lived or I write them because I have lived them. I think the believability factor is key.
I write with humour about sadness, to introduce an element of sweet to the sour, a bit like Turkish food.
I know it sounds a bit corny, but I do think that beauty and sexiness come from within.
Sometimes when I write songs, I don't know what they're about, and it just suddenly comes to me.
If I write that it was a cold day, you can be sure I know it was a cold day because Pepys told us.
It's been an objective of mine since I started writing songs to include both intellect and energy.
I think I write very good songs. But I don't know if anybody could record my songs with as much fervor. They sound good sung by me, and they especially sound good with my band.
I write a lot in my head. I've never been driven to write things down.
Most of the time, songs that I write end up being finished in 30 minutes or less.
