I don't think anybody comes close to The Beatles, including Oasis

We've done an arrangement with an orchestra, but I think the best stuff tends to come when it's just the four of us.

I spent 20 years of my life building up Queen, and now Im spending years of my life trying to get away from it.

I think a lot of people would be better off in America, where at least you would find some radio station somewhere that would play you.

I'm pretty basic as far as technique is concerned. I don't use many gadgets, and I like the sound my guitar makes, anyway.

Not for a million - years. I mean, I like the INXS boys, but I found the process very degrading, really. Reality television has eaten away at our standards of excellence. I don't like this whole culture, which has evolved, of TV being the king.

Mantovani was a great influence on me.
