Each gig should be unique. You're always treading that line between keeping yourself fresh and giving people something they want to hear

My children hate me being such a big star. It's very hard for them to have a father who is always in the public eye.

I'm into paradoxes. I wanted to make an album about them, but the group told me I was a pretentious fart. They were right.

The first nine albums there was never a Synthesiser, never any Orchestra. There was never any other player except us on the albums.

I like to go for a walk or swimming or in the garden when I can. It's a busy kind of life, but I guess I'm lucky.

I think music is about our internal life. It’s part of the way people touch each other. That’s very precious to me. And astronomy is, in a sense, the very opposite thing. Instead of looking inwards, you are looking out, to things beyond our grasp.
