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.

I try to find nice chord changes, that's how I love to start, and then I start trying to knock it into a song, knock it into shape.

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

It was so simple in the old days. You put out an album, people promoted it, it got in the charts, and you had a hit.

Live shows are fun - sometimes. But you have to practice for months on end.

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

Yes, I love to play drums and bass and guitar and piano. Those are the main instruments I play. That is it.
