It's frustrating to do albums that you think are worth listening to, but it's just so difficult to cut through.

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

Most people remember me for a couple of tunes.

I just found over the years that it's very hard to change people's perception of what it is that you do.

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

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.

I suppose ever since I was about 14, I remember listening to "Sgt. Pepper's," and I remember thinking, "how do you possibly write songs like that?" I remember starting to try and write songs around that age, but just sitting around with an acoustic guitar, and try to come up with ideas for songs, and that's just what I've done ever since. I just never really stopped doing that, I suppose.
