So I write melodies - thirty, forty, fifty - then I cast them off until I have just two or three. If only one is needed, I go see the director and ask him to decide.
I wasn't good with authority, went to lots of schools, didn't like the fact that there was no autonomy.
After all we did for Britain, selling that corduroy and making it swing, all we got was a bit of tin on a piece of leather.
