A lot of people can't be on their own. They get frightened. Isolation doesn't bother me at all. It gives me a sense of security.

I'm pretty optimistic about the future of rock... it will be back to composition as in classical music or jazz.

I know what I want to get down and I haven't got much time to do it in.

I don't deal in technique. I deal in emotions.

I know where I'm going musically. I can see my pattern and I'm going much slower than I thought I'd be going.

Let's just say I'm like a ship passing through storms, resting in ports now and then until it's time to continue the journey. I once told a friend, `I'm just looking for an angel with a broken wing - one that couldn't fly away.'

If you wanted to chart new territories and head off over the horizon, you had to make sure you weren't overly influenced by what others were doing ... so it didn't matter what other bands were doing ... we did what we were doing.
