I've always chosen my band members based on their sense of humor. It might sound stupid, but it means not only are they fun to live with on a tour bus for years, but humor implies intelligence.

I don't like what the radio plays for the most part.

Good taste - that's all you really need when you're playing an instrument.

I'm beginning to think I have two years encountering sexism without really realising it.

I guess I'll just slip into the studio after the next time with the Muses, and then just keel over and die.

I have to play as much of the game as I allow myself to get the music heard. But it's not unlike the rest of the world, so I'm not as up in arms about it as I could be.

If you're the band leader you ask more of yourself than anyone else, so they tend to raise the bar for me.
