There's a difference between expectations and aspirations.

I didn't grasp the basic principle of being a promoter, which was: Put on music but also generate an income. I was on the dole most of the time.

It's easy to be lazy when there's food lying around backstage or there's a fast-food joint a couple blocks away. But if you walk a little further, ask around a bit, of course there are exciting things to discover.

Music should be universal. My life perspective, my lifestyle - I'm not going to impose that on the people that listen to my music. That's kind of a perverse form of snobbery I like to reject.

Arty. To me the word's got as much venom associated with it as 'wacky'.

I want to make music that will make the blood surge in your veins, music that will get people up and dance.

I'm not a food critic, and I'm not really an authority to write anything on food.
