government way conservative
In no way am I supporting or suggesting that a Conservative government is a good thing, far from it.
nice thinking self
If you're in a band or think of yourself as a slightly creative person, you can get quite self-indulgent, so sometimes it's nice to have those people who bring you down to earth, but in a pleasant way.
song communication chocolate
I speak onstage to try to establish some method of communication. The songs are supposed to be a way of communicating. But speech and drinks and sometimes chocolates are also a way of communicating.
world way problem
One of the problems of our modern world is that there's a lot of things to work through, but, at some point, everybody should take a pause from that and make something, so that it's not just all one-way traffic.
government alternatives conservative
A Conservative government is necessary. There is no credible alternative.
notebook ideas littles
But I've got ideas. I keep my little notebook, I've always got that with me. Hopefully there's more stuff than nonsense in there.
song writing political
I do write songs with a political dimension to them sometimes, but I'm always slightly appalled by it when I do.
consistent ifs
I guess I'm fairly insistent and maybe consistent. If I decide I'll do something, I generally will.
nervous
I'm always nervous when I perform anyway.
mind expecting things-to-do
If you get involved in music expecting to make a living out of it, then you've picked the wrong thing to do. That shouldn't really be in your mind.
rocks age want
You get to a certain age and you just want to prove that you can still rock - that you've still got it.
people dumb can-do
You can do anything when you're famous. That's why famous people are so dumb.
home stuff facts
Every woman I've had a relationship with has found this maddening; the fact that I will talk about anything on the stage, and reveal all this stuff, and yet when I'm at home, I clam up and won't discuss anything intimate or personal.
museums houston feels
I always feel like there are specific things about Houston. There's one museum in particular in Houston. So many of the things that I'm interested in now I can sort of trace back to that museum, which introduced me to them.
