OK, I've had a life of sort of success, some people know who I am but a lot of people don't. I feel the need to change that still.

Everything I do - if I do it, is going to be personal.

As far as the Animals breaking up - it was my fault. I wanted out. We took it to the max, as far as we could take it. Our reunion tour in 1983 went pretty good until we left America. Then we pushed it too hard and it fell apart.

In the day-to-day life of a traveling musician, it's easy to miss so many details. The world goes by at high-speed; it will take your breath away.

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.

You've got to create a dream. You've got to uphold the dream. If you can't, go back to the factory or go back to the desk.

In a nut shell, air travel is the worst part about touring.
