I have no interest in going on a tour to make money without making new product, new art.

I don't, consciously anyways, sort of listen to things with the idea of getting something from them that I can use.

I just play intuitively and work the same way in the studio. I don't have any magical effects or anything that helps me to get my particular sound.

God created a system which gave us freewill.

To be honest, I don't listen to groups, really. Hardly ever. I know I'm in one, but I don't like them very much.

If you have a live reputation and your popularity is proven that way, then you're bound to get signed up because they see all those people buying those tickets and they think some of those people will buy those records, and that's what their business is primarily about.

The idea of going around to somebody else's flat or house and sitting around in a comfy room and having a really good hi-fi system and listening to a whole album all the way through, then chatting for a few minutes, then maybe putting another album on . . . does that happen today?
