I joined Genesis when I was 19. I've earned the right to actually do nothing. I don't want to be a shadow of what I was, so I've kind of just quite willingly stood back.

You know, a song is like a kid. You bring it up. And sometimes something you thought was going to be fantastic, by the time it's finished, is a bit of a disappointment...Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours.

That's the trouble with wishing you were somebody else. As much as you may want it, you know it'll never happen, at least not in this lifetime.

I'm usually going to make a record, finish a record, start a record or start a tour or between tours.

We all have the same problems in relationships.

I prefer black music in general.

I've spent the last year and a half going through a very public separation, hiding in hotel lobbies.
