I tried talking to Jesus, but he just put me on hold.

I used to drink a lot. I had to stop drinking because it was getting the better of me, and I replaced that with really doing shows.

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.

The Men at Work thing is always there, it's always going to be there. It's not something I consciously think that much about anymore. The thing that stays with you is the songs, which is a good thing for me, because the songs are the things that stand the test of time.

I had a very erratic career. I got very famous for a minute and then it just all went away, you know?

I like to let the songs speak so that they can go through some kind of rebirth as you play them.

In certain ways I still feel like I'm finding my way. I feel pretty comfortable playing acoustic guitar and singing, but then I feel pretty good sitting on a reggae groove as well.
