I always thought of myself as the piano player in the band. That, I suppose, I'm confident about, and I guess my songwriting developed as I went along and I got a certain amount of confidence in that. The songs are like my kids, I'm proud of all of them for one reason or another.

I'm probably writing music now for the same reason as I started writing songs when I was 14 - to meet women.

Some love is just a lie of the heart, the cold remains of what began with a passionate heart.

Some people stay far away from the door if there's a chance of it opening up. They hear a voice in the hall outside and hope that it just passes by.

I never said I wasn't going to play any more. I don't know where that came from.

I'm carrying the weight of all the useless junk and modern man accumulates.

Only the good die young.
