If you go back to all my albums, they're all confessional.

I'm not into albums that are meant to sound perfect.

The first album was literally the first 12 songs I've ever written.

The song 'Leroy and Lanisha' on my album 'The Epic' is really my homage to 'Linus and Lucy.'

I had deeper, more reflective songs on the first album.

I don't sing songs on albums that I don't like.

Some guys record an album with songs that are filler. I recorded this album like it was my last.

I've always wanted to produce a whole album for an artist.

I've been a huge Adele fan since I heard her album '19.'

At 57, to have a No. 1 album, I wasn't expecting it.

All my albums are evolutions, one on top of the other.

I tend to name albums after one of the songs.

A whole album to one writer - now that would be really interesting.

It was an honor to have our album and names mentioned on the Billboard charts.

I would never have written 'Trainspotting' if it hadn't been for this album, 'Raw Power,' and 'Metallic K.O.'

Issues deals with the issues I had, the fears I had and it isn't a 'nice' album but fears and depressions are not particularly nice.

There's no grace period between album one and album two.

I have a lot of albums yet to do.

I think a lot of guys are influenced by 'Pinata.' I fathered a lot of styles off that album.

I got a couple on per album but my problem was that I wanted to sing the songs and not let Roger sing them.
