I Think There Is A Certain Perversity

I Can Control The Weather With My Moods. I Just Can’t Control My Moods.

I Was About 12 Years Old And I Was Sitting Watching The Television And It Was Some Kind Of Talent Show, You Know, And On Marches This Monkey, This Ape, In A Pair Of Red-checked Trousers With A Little Matching Jacket Holding A Ukelele And It Started Jigging Around Playing It, And It Was Looking Straight Into The Camera, Straight At Me, And I Remember Thinking, That's It, That'll Be Me, You Know, That'll Be Me.

I Love America. I Really Do. It's By Far The Place I Like Visiting Out Of Anywhere In The World. I Get A Palpable Sense Of Excitement When The Plane's Landing. It's A Cliché, But There's Still An Incredible Energy About New York In Particular.

The Editing Of A Song Is Largely What Makes The Song For Me And I Think That Actually If I Had Started Going Like 'i Want You To Burn' It Would Have Pinned That Song Down To A Particular Thing And Made That Song A Smaller Idea Than What It Is. By Leaving That Off It's Much More Open, Broader.

I'm Not In The Business Of Telling People What To Do. I'm Much More In The Business Of Describing Things, Situations And Stuff Like That And Leaving Them Out There, And You Can Make Up Your Minds About Them.
