I don't think of myself as a singer really.

I liked Germany; I'm not into Berlin, it's too huge and empty and imposing, but Munich was good.

It's mostly Mars Bars and peanuts and cheese and you go to the fridge and there's Red Bull and Beer. It's not like people are holding me down and pouring beer in my face.
