Sometimes you have to grit your teeth and remain tenacious and just believe the end will come. Other times it's not an issue. You just write on and the end comes naturally.

When you are in a band for a number of years you loose your identity in a way. You become a part of that band and then all of a sudden you are not part of that band. You are still the band without the other two members.

I love to see new talent, new people beginning. It's a wonderful thing, and one wonders where their journey will take them. Sometimes they ask me for advice but it's very difficult to advise people. Everyone has their own destiny really.

I think for me, any great art is art which communicates human emotion.

As I said to Ringo, I was in a successful Rock N Roll band. He was in a band that changed the world. That's the difference.

When you play music with someone who has a heart rather than playing with someone who is just doing it for money or is cynical it makes all the difference.

I couldn't say there is a formula to songwriting. Each time is a unique experience.
