It's not always been a happy marriage. I guess I wanted a quick fix.

I try to devote my afternoons to making music in my home studio, but it's a lot more fun hanging out with musicians and friends, and trying subtly to influence a band than making your own stuff.

Is giving in to the photographer's presumably natural impulse to compose and light well sometimes okay and not okay other times?

When we started, a lot of bands sounded really different from one another.

It's more about the stuff you think about when you're getting from place to place on a bicycle than it is about actually riding the bicycle.

I'm afraid that reason will triumph and that the world will become a place where anyone who doesn't fit that will become unnecessary

Cycling is a joy and faster than many other modes of transport, depending on the time of day. It clears the head.
