For the sound we produce, everybody is equally important. Each of us has a very different personality and that is what keeps Bush alive.

I have always been fascinated by dark and mysterious stuff. I guess I have a pretty dark and gloomy side. Writing songs saves me from going completely gonzo.

Dub and reggae... I play that a lot around the house.

I love playing live, I don't like studios all that much. I need the reaction of the audience.

I'm just thrilled and kind of honored that I still get the chance to do what I love, because that really is the definition of success.

I always work hard to have a very close connection to the fans.

When I was lucky enough to be successful, I distanced myself completely from the whole thing of units and selling copies. I just wanted to keep everyone who comes to see me happy. I spend so much time after my shows talking to people who come from all over the world to see me. I'll go out and sign a picture and have a chat.
