What I like or dislike in music is my internal affair. I never want an audience out there to be influenced because John said. I don't want to have to endure that kind of nonsense. I work for the art of the individual.

I come from the school of do it yourself mate. Unfortunately over the years there's been quite a few of, "Can you do it for us Johnny, so we can grab all your glory?".

I love pop music. It's not easy to write a good pop song. It may be easier to put out a fake jazz album, as Sting does from time to time.

Judge not others unless you're prepared to be judged!

Sometimes the most positive thing you can be in a boring society is absolutely negative.

Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!
