"I’ve got a piece of paper on my desk, and it says, 'Write me a fresh book'. It’s something that one of my favourite writers… and I’m loathe to say who it is because it’s really personal to me, it’s an engine, and you don’t give your engine away. Someone once said to me, 'write me a fresh book', so I wrote them a fresh book! For me it means that note of spring or cut grass. Something that sensually feels alive."
