If you're 20 years old, you've grown up without buying albums.

There was a period when I'd just come out of college where I'd been playing classical guitar and I suddenly realised that it wasn't what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.

I don't like playing standards. I like to do my own cutting edge work.

I'm just trying to avoid any sort of generic kind of music - I don't want to do generic jazz or fusion.

I was totally into jazz in my teens.

I admire photographers who can take much more ordinarily subject matter and make it transcend that ordinariness, so that it becomes something else fresh and new. It opens this doorway. I really admire people who can do that with photography.

Usually, the best thing is when the band goes to the bar and gets the corner table, we sit there like kings, and then they bring people to us. It's just rock 'n' roll. It's stupid, really.
