I've been a little more fortunate, perhaps, than a lot of people have, for the simple reason that I've constantly been moving: so nobody can hit me - you know what I mean? Protesting is not the answer - not along those lines.

I don't dig staying in one groove.

Musicians have to suffer to a certain degree in order to obtain their outlet.

Luckily, I'm in the position now of being able to play purely because I have the desire to do so.

I have a company in New York City producing music for commercials, for radio, TV, features, etc. That's how I've been making my living. And now the company is very successful - to the extent that I can afford to come out and play.

Personally, I can't see how anyone can produce any beautiful music out of being angry.

For the last five years I've been in the production business.
