There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.

You don't want to get worse at something.

Sometimes there's a general arc that you want to try and get better the longer you do something.

I love going up the West Coast of the U. S. because it's one of my favorite parts of the world to tour.

I got very famous for a minute and then it just all went away, you know? And for the last 20 years - you've got to pick yourself up and dust yourself off and then go on your merry way and start again, in a sense, and that's what I've been doing.

It strikes me there's a bunch of people in power who have really strong intentions of running the world and adjusting the world to exactly how they see it.

I had a very strange career. I mean I went from playing to 150,000 people in 1983/84. Three or four years later I was playing to four people, you know, in Melbourne. I thought - bit strange, you know bit odd, bit erratic.
