I still get a buzz from seeing young kids making music.

It would be difficult to do art without music (music subsidises the art).

I'm always on the look out for 'the good image'. I'm like The Borg (you know, Star Trek) inasmuch as I assimilate everything - but I like to think I'm working in the Pop Art tradition.

Art is my 'solo career' if you like. Musically, as a bass player, I depend on other musicians to play, whereas, with painting, I'm on my own. I find it quite easy to switch heads and I enjoy both the mayhem of being on tour and the serenity of being alone in my art studio.

The internet has huge advantages but its downside is the easy access to resources.

I think there are still plenty of free-thinking creative people out there. There always will be.

My encyclopedic knowledge of rock and roll is a millstone around my neck.
