When you use some of the more modern recording devices and Pro Tools, when you get into the technology, you are aching to get into some territory.

I enjoy recording live better, but I think by the nature of it you are going to end up with something that's a little bit more traditional.

You have to shelve a lot of your inspiration. There's only so much you can do with one record.

There's 40 or 50 songs that nobody's heard that I've done in between albums. There's a whole evolution from Midnite Vultures to Sea Change that's never been released.

Every band I knew or played with had flyers and properly-recorded demos and contacts; I couldn't even get a gig.

When I did "Top of the Pops" for the first time, Ace of Base was one of the other bands, and I have a memory of them on a small stage next to me in the TV studio. A memory of their performance is burned into my mind. Seared.

I had long hair when I was a teenager.
