The way that house music has become so white and so sanitized over the decades and the fact it's still going on, well I think it's sad really, but at the time I really loved it. I loved all the black house music that was coming out of Chicago and New Jersey, which I just thought was really soulful.

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

The Zombies were really unique - they had elements of jazz and classical music in their songs and songwriting. They had a very, very different sound compared to a lot of their contemporaries at the time.

I really enjoy playing America. I like the audiences there. It's the home of a lot of music I grew up with.

Nothing wrong with pop.

I love soul music, that's my real love in life and in whatever shape or form it is.

I look for that stimulation constantly. I'm looking for inspiration and stimulation. Not bored with what we've done.
