I'm happy in English studios. I just feel like there's no pressure anywhere.

I try to become a singer. The guitar has always been abused with distortion units and funny sorts of effects, but when you don't do that and just let the genuine sound come through, there's a whole magic there.

I would have loved to have been two people, but I was determined not to devote my entire life to my career.

I don't care about the rules, if I don't break the rules at least 10x every song then I'm not doing my job.

That old funny-shaped bit of wood is still staring me in the face every day saying 'come on, you haven't started yet!' It's infinite.

If you can make it sound exciting with a joke drum machine, you know you've got something.

I never really felt at home with that - the headbands, the roses, the feet, the peace sign, all that bollocks. That wasn't me at all; I felt like a fish totally out of water during the mid-'60s thing.
