In Scotland, Beautiful As It Is, It

I Suppose Ever Since I Was About 14, I Remember Listening To "sgt. Pepper's," And I Remember Thinking, "how Do You Possibly Write Songs Like That?" I Remember Starting To Try And Write Songs Around That Age, But Just Sitting Around With An Acoustic Guitar, And Try To Come Up With Ideas For Songs, And That's Just What I've Done Ever Since. I Just Never Really Stopped Doing That, I Suppose.

I Do Like Writing Songs In A Band. When It's Rock, It's Such A Different Kind Of Dynamic, Obviously.

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.

I Like To Let The Songs Speak So That They Can Go Through Some Kind Of Rebirth As You Play Them.

I Find That, Rather Than The Cities, I'm Very Lucky Because The Audiences That Come And See Me Are Very, Generally Speaking, Truly Kind, So I Have A Great Time Playing Everywhere.
