On Memorial Day, I don't want to only remember the combatants. There were also those who came out of the trenches as writers and poets, who started preaching peace, men and women who have made this world a kinder place to live.

Everything changes and, somewhere along the line, I'm changing with it.

I was in college, and very disappointed. I majored in commercial art and interior design for three or four years. At that time, it seemed the thing I really wanted to do, production design, just wasn't available in the U.K., so I turned to music.

Eventually I would like to reach the stage where I don't have to write about love and kisses and all that stuff. I wish I could write about really ultimate things. That's where I think all of us want to go, really. All the groups seem to be heading towards a kind of pop music that deals with ultimate things.

My activism was, and is, unknown, unannounced, but somehow effective.

I have a life beyond performance. I love it, and it probably is the better part of my life, but I do have another life.

Recording - once something's done, it's done, there's not much you can do about it. It's out there and you just have to pray to the gods.
