The only thing that’s a little tricky about it is sometimes people assume that if it’s a new song, it’s a reflection of what you’re feeling or going through now.

I’ve never written a song that I thought was a hit.

So it was just a case of getting a bunch of songs that I had been writing for years but hadn’t recorded together, and the result was My Own Best Enemy.

My joke, which isn’t really a joke, is that there will be one of two tours: the tour for the album that does well, or the tour for the album that stiffs.

I don’t think it is pressure but I am aware sometimes, especially on this new album, that people were going to really pay attention.

I can’t wait to front my band with these new songs and play for fans, but I’ve decided to keep my day job too.

I’ve never, ever in my life enjoyed playing live the way I am now.

I didn’t want my last chapter to be the guy who sits at the piano and sings love songs.

I’m happy, I would say that I’m one of the happiest people I know but I’ve certainly had periods of profound sadness, depression and heartache and those are the kind of things that are interesting to me to write about.

I love when people get songs wrong. I love when people take something from a song that’s totally not what I intended!
