Prog rock, with a little good taste, is ok. I tried to bring some of it into this century, I guess.

I used to go to my local pub and it was like a sanctuary, nobody dared ask for an autograph. You went in there for a ploughman's and a pint, and you went home and watched TV. Believe me, there's more to watch on British TV than American, except for CNN right now. But yeah, I miss it.

Why did I like simpler songs? Just times change. This is one of the repeated things I hear: even though people will read different kinds of books, they don't read Lord of the Rings when they're 30 even though they did at 15.

Many of the articles printed over the last few months have ended up painting a picture of me that is more than a little distorted.

I'm much happier just to write myself out of the script entirely.

Love can make you do things that you never thought possible

I'm sorry that it was all so successful. I honestly didn't mean it to happen like that. It's hardly surprising that people grew to hate me.
