Well, I'd say my ambition is,

When the kid's mum died, it was a very difficult period.

And we went through a lot.

And it was very hard.

She suffered a great deal.

And my ambition is to make sure that we come out of it all right.

And I hope that's what's happening.

I'm lucky now because I have a new partner who's come and brought a light into all of it, which has taken a great deal of strength.

And really, if all that's okay, I then want to be able to go to my metaphorical potting shed down the end of the garden and carry on tinkering away on my new devices and feel everybody's okay.

That's my ambition.

And if I'm still able to make some music that expresses all that and is still important to people, if I'm still taking risks and affecting people, then wow, it's more than I can ask for.

That's way more than I need.

It's time for your last disc, Tom.

Ah, so we're back on this desert island, right?

So when I started thinking about doing this, of course my first thought was Castaway with Tom Hanks.

And to be honest, I'd be looking forward to it.

The chance to just, you know, have a bit of time to chill.

I'm into that.

And as I said before, initially I thought of all this electronic stuff that would be good in the mind.

But then I realised, no, no, no, no.
