Like most New Yorkers I was shell-shocked immediately after 9/11 and couldn't put into words what I was feeling.
Everyone gets the feeling that they know you and they know your life, and I felt really embarrassed by that.
I never considered myself a songwriter, but now since I've been working with Nick Lowe, I am contributing to an extent. But I'm the guitarist and he's not, so we compliment each other in a way.
