"The album was done, so I wasn’t even thinking about it. I was like, “Maybe this could be a B side or I’ll finish it later.” I would blast it in the car when I’d drive Zoë to school; we would drive really fast down this road next to the beach. It was beautiful. We liked the way it sounded, but I still had no melody or words. Then one morning, I cut it. I played it for a friend who said, “That is a massive hit. You’ve gotta put it on your record.” I said, “Well, the record’s done. I’ve turned it in.” He said, “If you don’t put it on the album, I’m gonna be so pissed off at you.” So I called up Virgin, and they were like, “Well, it’s too late. The album’s done. We’re going to press.” I sent it to them anyway, and they listened and stopped everything. They added it to the record and put it out. It won me a Grammy."

Well, I was dating a girl and she was going to Bryn Mawr College and it's where my dad teaches. And I was probably 17 or something like that and she was like 18. I always liked the older girls. (laughs) But we were in her dorm room, and her roommate came in and she saw us there, and she was like, 'Oh, it smells like sex and candy in here.' And I always remembered that.
