Being a musician, being a person who's playing tours and making records is a part-time thing for me at age. I did it, I lived it and I breathed it every day of my life for 30-odd years and now I am slowing down a little bit. But it does not mean that I am any less intense and dedicated to the work that I am doing now. I have other priorities in life as well.

It's a very tempting thing to try and relive your glory days when you get a little older and you worry that people have forgotten all about you.

People being incredibly rude and playing music incredibly badly and being incredibly obnoxious has always been a teenage sort of thing.

There's no way out of here.

I haven't felt compelled to go back in the studio and do anything serious. I have a little sort of home studio thing which I potter about in occasionally.

I don't have a very disciplined approach to practicing or anything, but I do tend to have a guitar around most of the time, which I strum on most of the day.

The music tends to be an expression of one's darker moments.
