I don't think I was ever particularly mean. I can certainly think of some idiotic exchanges I've had. I was accused of destroying pop music, like Wagner destroyed opera - a guy in Germany started ranting that at me.

Women hear rhythm differently than men.

I'm a working travelling musician, but just on a bigger scale...

Writing about music is like dancing about architecture - it's really a stupid thing to want to do.

If I am frightened then I can hide it If I am crying, I'll call it laughter If I am haunted, I'll call it my imaginary friend If I am bleeding I'll call it wine But if you leave me then I am broken And if I'm broken then only death remains

I could promise that I'll always be true to you, but we may not live to be so old.

I think when I was younger I was not very good at writing love songs that didn't have a twist.
