I like England more than I did when I left. Its become a bit of a better country in the last ten years, in the attitude of it. A bit more Americanized, which is both good and bad. At least when you order a cup of coffee they dont give you a hard time. – Teddy Thompson
I love the sad songs with their maudlin, self-deprecating, almost funny lyrics. As an Englishman, they make a lot of sense. – Teddy Thompson
I think Im too cynical for L.A. My sense of humor doesnt go down well here, which probably affects my love life. I need to have a laugh track following me around so people know Im trying to be funny. – Teddy Thompson
I used to listen to my dad a lot as a way of trying to be close to him, as well, because my parents were divorced and I didnt spend that much time with him. And I used to put headphones on and listen to my dad talk and sing and I found that quite… bonding with him, in a weird way. – Teddy Thompson
