Ive been married three times and divorced three times.

As a songwriter, I was influenced by David Bowie - a great writer. A class above everybody in so many ways. Lennon and McCartney, of course. Class stuff. David Cousins was my favorite lyricist.

The studio is not the place to write. You need to be 75% ready when you go into the studio, and then the music can develop to the next stage.

I'm always writing or playing because that is my life.

When the first list was being drawn up in the rock and roll book of Genesis, it would have been: In the beginning, God created Pink Floyd.

My earliest professional musical experiences were really as a session player, and every day was an adventure. Three sessions a day, every day, and you never knew who you would be working with until you arrived at the studio.

People like Frank Zappa were amazing for us Brits.
