I look for ambiguity when I'm writing because life is ambiguous.

Nobody wants to get old, but nobody wants to die young either.

What is life but playing with time?

You don't start to play your guitar thinking you're going to be running an organisation that will maybe generate millions.

I don't think rock n' roll songwriters should worry about art. I don't think it comes into it...as far as I'm concerned, Art is just short for Arthur.

There's just certain styles of playing that you do play in your own way. Maybe it's in the way your fingers bend, for all I know. And so whenever you pick up the guitar it's not so much the sound of the instrument itself, it's like the ting that you add onto it-the attitude.

Art is the last thing I'm worried about when I'm writing a song. As far as I'm concerned, art is just short for 'Arthur.'
