'Urban Renewal' was sweet because I've been - unfairly, I would say - plonked in the middle of the road because of a handful of songs. It came at a good time for me, because you do take a bit of a browbeating and, as you get older, you become better at accepting it and realizing why it happens.

You know, I've released some great records and I've released some dogs. But frankly, the fun is in creating the thing.

I'm glad that the lyrics reach people and make them understand that we're all the same, really.

In 1977 we played America and Europe three times, and Japan - my marriage suffered as a result. My then wife took the kids to Canada to be near her parents

God is a spa-bath of water and we are all individual bubbles

Considering yourself selflessly selfish is a principle of all great thinkers

Deep inside us we're not that different at all.
