It is entirely possible to create something totally artificial within the realms of rock and roll.

I guess, - a greater number of the 26 or so albums that I've made are known in Europe than they are in America.

I think I am a lot more relaxed about what I have or haven't done.

Church on time, makes me party.

Every time I've made a radical change it's helped me feel buoyant as an artist

I think a lot of that album ["Tonight" ] is still very good . . . the songs, but I think I was indifferent to the arrangements.

1961 was when I was really into clothes. I left school at 15 and started copying a bloke who used to go up on the train to London with me; Leslie, I think his name was. He was like, top mod of his own area. He wore Italian jackets with white linen jeans. Boy, was that cool! I mean, that's in style now - it's very much the L.A. look. But he was wearing it then, and it looked supercool.
