I feel that if I said anything about John, I would have to sit here for five days and say it all. Or I don't want to say anything.

I look a lot busier than I am, as I'm actually a rather sporadic, random person and I'll play a few gigs and then disappear for a while.

I do have a spongelike ear or mentality or whatever you call it, but it's probably a bit subconscious.

Alas, it looks like those unsubstantiated rumours about me are about to come true after all this time.

I don't ever try to make a serious social comment.

There's nothing like the eureka moment of knocking off a song that didn't exist before - I won't compare it to sex, but it lasts longer.

My dad, bless him, was a musician. And his dad had thought that his music was rubbish.
