Collaboration is no longer painful - or precious.

I went on iTunes and looked at versions of Christmas songs. Everyone has done them!

I used to do all my programming on a BBC computer. It was limited to 16 tracks, and you used the keyboard, not a mouse, to input, but I was using it so long, I got quite fast at it.

When we start to write for a new record, we never really know what we're doing. We don't come into the room with a set of ideas, but miraculously, a song comes out of it.

I'm a lover of songs.

I started writing songs at age 15.
