The really pop country stuff can sound a little bland because they put in strings and horns and all of that.

I love Indian food - it's my favourite cuisine. I love the mixture of spices and the subtle flavours. It's really erotic; the spices are so sensuous.

You can always pound out demos and send them to record companies, but most of the successful bands I've seen are the ones that can sustain themselves.

Get good live and get a following because that's what people notice.

Hopefully I'm bringing to rock n' roll the kind of spontaneity that I love, and always believed rock and roll stands for.

I was very fascinated by the time when firearms went from being fire sticks to being something people could use to hunt and to survive.

It's probably listening to country music that got me to start playing a lot cleaner, not as distorted.
