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.

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

I like to comprehend more or less everything around me - apart from the creation of my music. It's an obsessive character trait that's getting worse. I don't switch the light on and off 15 times before I leave the room yet, but something's going wrong.

Life isn't moving quickly - time moves very quickly.

I know that bands that haven't put out a record for 10 years are playing to 20,000 people a night. But that's not the achievement.

Circumspection is not one of my better, favorite conditions, really.

Music means communication to me. I say 'listen you people out there, listen to my music, let's be one.' Music is a friend to me when I am lonely, when I am blue. You can't define music 'cause music is cosmos and it knows no barrier or definition. You have to feel music to dig it.
