Each thing leapfrogs. I do a Genesis project - like now, we're just finishing off an album - and then by the time the album is doing its thing, I could do nothing or I could do a film.

And, you know, I never wanted to be a singer.

To see a lot of the smaller labels disappear or get gobbled up by the bigger labels, that’s a shame. It was a bit of a shock at first to see the demise of the record stores.

That's going to be on my headstone: 'He came. He wrote 'In the Air Tonight.' He... died.'

Of course you can't please everyone all the time. It's just something that I've got to get over, and I'm better at it now.

My only saving grace is that I actually collect things that nobody else is interested in.

When you're young you want to show people what you can do, no matter what the cost. Whereas when you're older, and you realise that maybe a drum machine is better than you playing, then use the drum machine.
