I'm not that type of musician where I can sit down at the piano and work out a song; I actually really enjoy that process of sitting with somebody and having nothing and then suddenly something starts appearing.

You tussle with it and play with it and roll around with it and suddenly, magically, something appears.
Dave Gahan
