There are so many artists who get to my age that get comfortable and just stick in a groove, and I really don't want to do that.

I'd like to think I've left something in the world. Without in any way trying to be morbid, but life is very short, and I'd like to think I'd leave some body of work that would inspire other musicians long after I've gone.

I still want to do what I want to do, but we also have to think about some sense of protecting the business that's out there as well.

There's such a wealth of great music, clothes or whatever. There is so much great stuff out there, that why would you not still be interested if you've grown up in that kind of culture?

I don't like the royal family, I don't like the establishment, I don't like the civil service.

I only put an album out every two or three years.

Everyone gets frustrated and aggressive, and I'd sooner take my aggression out on a guitar than on a person.
