I hope there is an edge to what I do.

Let's get rid of all the economic (expletive) this country represents! Bring it on, I hope the Muslims win!

I'm 34 now, I like to say 35 because it makes me look better for my age, and I have to keep a little bit of a profile so that every three years if I do put a record out, I don't have to substantiate where I've been for three years and why the silence and the sort of false mysterioso.

I preferred rock when it was in the dark, when it was a secret between me and the audience, when it wasn't mainstream.

Things go in waves, and I might make a record every three years. That's enough for me, that satisfies me. And it satisfies the so-called public, because they don't really need a record every year. They don't even want one. There's other stuff out there for them to listen to.

If you're purely derivative in what you do, then you could very easily get lost along the way. But for me, I might want to even do something else for a while.

A ballad once in a while doesn't go amiss
