There's zero correlation between owning music and being a greater music lover or musician than the next person.

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.

About 20 years ago, I had a dream in which somebody sang one of the most beautiful melodies I'd ever heard, and gave it to me, and warned me not to forget it. Of course, I did forget it by the time I had got out of bed. Now as precaution, my phone is overloaded with half sung melodies.

Everyone is going to prang out at some point. I don't worry about that stuff too much because most things can be sorted out with a chat, a cup of tea and an arm wrestle.

You can't live life being afraid, because fear censors ambition.

Guidance is everything, you have to accept that somebody is their own person, an individual.

If you can't frighten yourself, I don't think you can excite other people. And I like being frightened.
