I love pop music. It's not easy to write a good pop song.

If you were to look back at me as a school kid you'd see a very quiet little church mouse kind of character.

Love is two minutes fifty-two seconds of squishing noises. It shows your mind isn't clicking right.

As a young concert-going person, I was never enamoured with celebrities who would walk out to feature in certain songs and then walk off.

I've always strived to maintain a very healthy, friendly working situation, and lo and behold, it only took forty years, so the next sixty are looking bright. You're dealing with human beings on the cutting edge, and there's bound to be tension. You have to be make room for that, and you can't be too unreasonable, because that's everybody else's role.

I love boating - not flash, 'noisy go fast' nonsense, but the general relaxation of it. My wife and I love to get in our little Wellcraft and go as far out to sea as we can, hopefully beyond land. That is the best thing you can ever do. It clears your psyche.

The sounds of anger are not melodic.
