Most songs I write are spur-of-the-moment-type things. I have to be spontaneous. If not, songwriting can bore me. There is no pre-design or idea of what I am going to do when I go into the studio. It's all like that for me. I could go in and write two or three songs in an eight-hour session. You can't over-think songs. You just can't.

'Back To Love' is a way of letting people know that sometimes you get caught up in trying to be successful in school or in your social life, and it's a reminder not to forget that each day people are getting older. Nobody is promised tomorrow, so we should make sure that we spend quality time with quality people.

If you look at the motor racing scene nowadays, people are doing less than a year in a category and then think 'I’ve had enough of this one so now I’m going to jump two or three because I can afford it', and the next thing you know they are sitting in a Formula One car.

Numerous people were selling their houses to go karting and taking their kids out of school, one or two British families sold what sounded like great houses to move to Italy to go karting. I have no idea where they are now.
