People have taught me not to look for intelligence in rockmusic.

But for every hour and a half on stage, you have a five hour long bus ride, waiting for five hours at the airport, five hours of interviews... I know, it's part of the job, but that doesn't imply I have to like it.

I've been in Hamburg for about ten years and I just feel at home.

I don't trawl record shops anymore. I usually hear music in bars or at friends' houses.

I have no musical talent at all. I was banned from music classes and told I would never be able to understand anything. I still don't think I can sing, but somehow I get away with it.

The citizen is becoming a pawn in a game where nobody knows the rules, where everybody consequently doubts that there are rules at all, and where the vocabulary has been diminished to such an extent that nobody is even sure what the game is all about.

Most writers can write, most rock 'n rollers cannot.
