Either we stay at home and become pillars of the community or we go out and tour. We couldn't really find any communities that still needed pillars.

Something that you can't play in your kitchen is rap. It is done in your neighbour's kitchen.

I used to play Saturday night shows with different little groups. If I could get a show, I would do it. I used to do mad things - I used to go and do these shows and go on my knees and roll on the ground - when I was 15,16 years old. And my parents were extremely disapproving of it all. Because it was just not done. This was for very low-class people, remember. Rock & roll singers weren't educated people

I don't think people care about the mechanics of songwriting.

I prefer to live in a rented house. No ties. Nothing around my neck. Just the minimum kind of bare comforts of home.

I don't believe in original melodies. There are only so many computations of eight notes.

I haven't had the time to plan returning to the scene because I haven't left it.
