“He’s quite a strange fella, Carl, really. He’s so talented, but he gets so wound up and nervous about his own capabilities. He’s always trying to make the excuse. He says ‘let’s go down to the beach’ or ‘let’s go to the lake and try to get in the right mood and try to get in the right frame of mind’. I’ll be like, ‘No, let’s just go sit down with some guitars and do some fucking writing.’ ‘Ah, OK. Let’s…’ It’s amazing what comes out.”
