To go see a band in a big venue is a difficult experience. I don't really like that too much. I'm not a guy who puts on iTunes and goes, "Oh, what's hot!" I don't need to.

You don't want to be so far off the planet that you come out with something that doesn't make sense to anybody.

What I wanted to do was play the guitar but I don't like instrumental rock. I think it is tripe.

If I'm playing a violin thing, for instance, I tend to respond to that sound with the way I finger.

I would like to play with electronic keyboards again.

Sometimes, literally within a few minutes, you'd be off this amazing roaring scene and back at your hotel room, staring at the patten of the wallpaper. It's very surreal. You're back in your room, and it's dead quiet and really weird.
