I love you more than anything in this world. I don't expect that will last.

I just got into it like a lot of people through the rock 'n' roll bands in the late '60s that turned to country music, like The Byrds and Buffalo Springfield, but particularly through The Byrds because of Gram Parsons, Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman (with their 1968 album Sweetheart of the Rodeo). They kind of introduced English kids to Merle Haggard and George Jones and the Louvins (brothers Charlie and Ira).

Morrissey writes wonderful song titles, but sadly he often forgets to write the song.

I mistrust these people in music industry who can be everybody. This is where technology dictates to them. I mistrust that, that in somehow the chips capture the soul of a player, that's patent nonsense.

I believe that music is connected by human passions and curiosities rather than by marketing strategies.

There's no such thing as an original sin.

These are the sort of things that push you on in music - the curiosity, a passion for new ideas.
