I like being a big fish in a small pond. I'm not interested in a huge audience because it brings headaches.
If anyone comes along, I'm more than happy to welcome them, but I'm not interested in world domination.
The world is full of musicians who can play great, and you wouldn't cross the road to see them. It's people who have this indefinable attitude that are the good ones.
Going to Nashville to meet the in-laws was the first time when I'd been in America and not been seen as some sort of eccentric character with a cute accent.
When somebody like Elvis Costello comes along, anybody can make a good record with him.
Elvis Costello had a brand new bag. He was a musician, but he knew all about the attitude part of it.
