If you're working at the factory and you're cursing every day that you get up, at all costs get out of it. You'll just make yourself ill.

I love playing. If it was down to just that, it would be utopia.

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 attracted by the unknown, but I take precautions.

The term "genius" gets used far too loosely in rock & roll.

I can listen to all different sorts of music. I don't really care about The Next Big Thing.

You can't expect to be the same person you were three years ago. Some people expect you to be and can't come to terms with the fact that if a year has elapsed between LPs, that means one year's worth of changes. The material consequently is affected by that, the lyrics are affected by that... the music too.
