I have been playing a lot of keyboards, especially in the last five or six years. I suppose it gives you more scope than the guitar, although it does tend to make you write a different way.

I've got a Range Rover. It's brilliant actually but it's manual.

Guitar is great for a certain thing, but a piano is so much more expansive.

Recently, I was in Bernalda, my dad's ancestral home town in Italy. He has just refurbished a palazzo and turned it into a hotel, so we had my sister's wedding there. It was beautiful.

I like people not being able to be pigeon-holed.

I was a bit challenged when I was younger to stay on the right path.
