I've never had any religion. I'd prefer it if I did, really. Even as a boy I just couldn't make myself believe.

I've been in The Who, I've been in The Beatles and I've been in Pink Floyd! Top that!

Subconsciously you just pick up things into your sort of musical vocabulary and use them.

If people would like to come to my concerts I'd love them to come. And if they like the music that I make, I love that too. But I do not make music for other people. I make it to please myself.

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.

I listen to classical music at home probably more than pop music.

Little ideas can pop into one's head at any time, and if I'm being reasonably efficient I've got it close enough to hand, then I pop that little tiny moment of a few seconds down onto a tape and then I can forget about it for... years sometimes.
