To be a musician, especially a singer-songwriter - well, you don't do that if you have a thriving social life. You do it because there's an element of alienation in your life.

No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong.

I don't think anyone really says anything new.

The report falsely asserts that global warming is causing more extreme weather events, more droughts, more record high temperatures, more wildfires, warmer winters, etc., when each and every one of these false assertions is contradicted by objective, verifiable evidence.

To me, very much of what is artistic is people's very creative and inventive ways out of impossible situations.

I think people are isolated because of the nature of human consciousness, and they like it when they feel the connection between themselves and someone else.

The Beatles were a phenomenon, but they were also ordinary blokes like anyone else. I was lucky enough to see that side.
