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

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.

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.

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.

Sometimes something has a value, it has an instant quality to it, and that's all it needs to be.
