I sing for money

This was always my ambition to make a living playing music. That's what I do. I sing for money.

*************
Success for me is having a handful of friends.

*************

I do have that anxiety there, thinking how on earth am I going to do this again, how on earth am I going to face that blank page again, that dread.The solution is I go on tour for as long as I possibly can and then I don't have to think. There's no thinking involved in touring at all, it's just like being a tennis player.

I clock on in the morning at 10 o'clock and I start work. It's painstaking work and sometimes you don't get anything; there's just nothing to show for it.
