During my sabbatical, I spent two years not listening to my songs at all.

If I had spent a quarter of the time that I spent manipulating my sexuality in front of a piano instead, I would be the most gifted piano player of my lifetime.

We name all the songs by listening to what it sounds like (and coming up with something). We have lots of songs and lots of names.

An important impression was my father's one Sabbatical year, spent in England and Europe in 1937.

We decided the only way to make a cover record special was to do the songs that influenced us when we were younger.

I was drafted when I was 17, and I spent two years, and I lost a friend in war.
