I daresay one good concert justifies a week of satisfaction at home.

There's nothing worse than a bunch of jaded old farts, and that's a fact.

I've stopped apologizing to myself for having this great period of success and financial acceptance.

We are trying to communicate a fulfilled ideal. Does anybody remember laughter?

When you're singing we all phrase each other in the most remarkable ways. I might hit some sort of thing I've never done before - some vocal pattern. Bonzo will pick it up - he'll phrase with me instantly and then Pagey may join in or start some other phrase - it's like a quadrant.

I'm not trying to be cosmic, it's just that everything's on a roll and that's how it is. The songs within the album discuss that very condition.

I use the music almost as a compass in some kind of quasi-romantic way. I try and go to places that I'm intrigued by, and I take this music with me, using my name at the front.
