At the end of the day I have to please myself. And I've made a record to please myself.

When you do a song new live on stage, it's kind of a bit weird until it gets worn in, you know, like oiled up a bit. It's still a little bit stiff until you really thrashed at it for a few weeks.

The first band I saw were Mike Sheridan and The Nightriders, in their brown mohair suits, in 1966.

I just want to be in the studio. When you've got all the gear you want in your own house, it's difficult to go out and do something else, you know?

As you get older, the days have gone, and the years have gone, and it's 'whoosh!

Old music is the same as new music - it's just a different way of delivering it.

I like the natural sound of a room. All the rooms have their own sound, so it's a matter of putting it where you like and seeing what it sounds like.
