Sensitive, humbug. Everybody thinks I'm sensitive. Wait until they hear my new album.
I never download anything; it's crazy! We must keep buying albums and DVDs.
In 1994, I started touring again and I recorded two albums for Chesky Jazz.
Obviously, with your first album, you want to make sure you are really happy with it.
I don't want my album coming out with a 'G' rating. Nobody would buy it.
I've just got to get that album out. I have to get it out, if it's the last thing I do.

I've been here all the time; I could be putting out as many albums as Costello, y'know what I mean?
'Time Rolls On' is my most political piece so far. It's not on my album because people didn't support it.
The whole time after you record an album, you're just waiting for the release date. You're waiting for fans to hear it and stuff.
