Being a musician is a noble profession.

You have to keep challenging yourself. I've always tried to do that, and I'm not saying I've always been successful. Maybe I've rewritten the same song; it's inevitable, but I've always been mindful of taking the writing somewhere else. You can't stick in your little comfort zone.

So much is filtered by pop music today, because the music industry is driven by single, single, single, single, the next single, not the nurturing of artists and that kind of thing.

It can get boring. Not the playing the songs necessarily, or doing the clothes. You know, you need stimulus.

I think the world is really small today, and fashion, from that end of it, it's instantaneous everywhere.

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 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.
