Which song have you written that still gives you goosebumps? And which can’t you stand any more? Richard Hornby, Manchester I’ve always really liked That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore by the Smiths. And Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me and The Headmaster Ritual. City of Bugs by the Cribs, Dashboard by Modest Mouseand Get the Message particular...
How has the global pandemic changed your sources of inspiration? I’ve just come out of this two-year period having made a double album. But to be honest, it was time for me to make a record anyway. I went into the pandemic with this idea for an album called Fever Dreams. I’d started a few songs already, but then broke off to do the James Bond movie...
As someone who broke into music in their 40s, how do you navigate pushing forward in an industry that mostly values youth? I’m maybe being over-idealistic here, but I think that people or fans of music recognise an artist’s agenda and possibly their motivation. You can tell a lifer when you see them. And Sleaford Modsare a really good example of th...
I heard you were collecting art long before the Smiths took off– is that true? Yeah, it is, but it was stuff from junk shops. The most valuable stuff was some Man Ray and David Bailey photographs that I picked up on an excursion to Covent Garden in this crappy little junk shop. But the first thing I got into when the Smiths took off was collecting ...
Which painters have influenced your sound the most? I suppose it’s obvious, or obvious to me: Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, David Hockney, Cy Twombly, Paul Klee. With David Hockney, it’s a sense of being wide awake, his sense of inquiry and joy and curiosity. David Shrigley has got this sense of knowing about him, and he’s funny. I also think ...
Did the Smiths ever fall out over football or politics? We never discussed football so that’s that. And we never fell out over politics, but we probably would now. Morrissey’s recent political views have cast a shadow over the Smiths for me – reaching back into the past and tainting something that was very important to me. I’m so disappointed in hi...
Where do you go to think? I go to a room in my house for half an hour in the morning and half an hour at night and meditate. I’ve done that for 20 years. It still doesn’t get any easier for anyone who’s thinking of taking it up, but it works, it does work. Most people use running to unwind, but for some reason, I just get more rewound and get a lot...
We have both had many casual musical flings but one very strong personal bond in our lives. How has your relationship with the wonderful Angie influenced your creativity, and does she have a favourite guitar? I’ll answer the easy bit first: Angie’s always loved Les Pauls. That’s to do with when we first met – she was 14 and I was 15. We were into J...
I feel that listening to the Smiths growing up and hearing your guitar playing was crucial to my understanding of the guitar and how to approach it, as I can imagine it was for many others. Who were your main influences growing up and what kind of techniques did they provide you with? Wow. Well, first off, it’s great to get a question from Lottie b...
You really are a musical chameleon – would you ever consider becoming an actor? If so, what would be your preferred medium: film, TV or stage? I personally think you would be a natural. Do you know what, Maxine? Telly or film, I’m not fussy. I’d like to play a menacing, villainous eastern European gangster or a drug dealer. One or the other, as lon...
