When I was a young musician, the only option available to pursue secondary education in music was to attend a classical conservatory.

I'm not sure about life after this; god knows I'm not a spiritual man.

Videos destroyed the vitality of rock and roll. Before that, music said, "Listen to me." Now it says, "Look at me."

There ain't much future for a man who works the sea, there ain't no island left for islanders like me.

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

People in music lie, but they don't expect you to believe them. People in television actually expect you to believe the lies.

And the only people I fear are those who never have doubts... Save us all from arrogant men, and all the causes they're for.
