So songwriting is your means of finding love?
Hmm... [grimace] I thought so, but really the one or two people that I thought I was in love with, and they thought they were in love with me, they've never really been big fans of my music. In a way it's good because you know that they're not with you just because they like your music, but it's sad. Everything you do at a certain time in your life, no matter what the song's about, all the energy is really directed towards that one person. Whether that was for Carl. Or for Kate. Or for someone else I fell in love with.

What's the perfect song?
It all depends on the time of day and what you're wearing.

How long do you think you'll continue writing?
As long as the person you want to kiss doesn't want to kiss you, then there's always room for another song. I'm not trying to kiss you, by the way. But you've got quite nice teeth.

"Don't forget the songs that made you cry'... that line always made me well up. Love, Pete."
