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

Even somebody like The Black Keys or Royal Blood, they all have this original roots base to what they do.

I suppose I was much more serious-minded in the '70s and '80s.

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.

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.

Sometimes you're ahead of the game and sometimes people don't get it and that's just one of those things you have to accept and carry on.

I never, ever wanted to be the Rolling Stones. Bless their hearts, but I dont necessarily want to go on doing the same old thing for the next 10, 20 years... I could see how easy it is to get into that rut, the whole touring mindset.
