Break eggs to make omlettes, never be complacent or think 'I've got a career here, I've got to keep it going'.

I wish I could do something else, I wish I was an amazing painter or a brain surgeon or something, but it's just what it's been.

All the best bands have a language, and what they say within that language makes it is what it is.

You have to follow your instinct, and that's what I've tried to do all my life, whether in music or anything.

I don't know if this is a good thing to say, but the musical obsession has almost shifted to a creative obsession now.

I'm sure that there are many situations in life that are going to offer the same risks and pitfalls that you have to get past. That's just life.

I like the notion of guiding, because I can offer advice through my own experiences, tastes and beliefs. But it's all in that individual's hands.
