I think The Song Remains The Same is such a load of old bollocks.

The calendar and the mirror - they're bastards.

I am a reflection of what I sing. Sometimes I have to get serious because the things Ive been through are serious.

Maybe I'm just flying my own little ego ship, but sometimes people resent talent.

There are always generic terms like 'Americana', but there are no boundaries as to where it can go.

And there are certain songs that are really timepieces and shouldn't be touched. But some of them are a celebration of good humour and sensibility and I think that's okay. I don't care about the past, I'm a musician with ambition.

Back in my day, we called it rock 'n' roll, but then we always reminded listeners that it was no big deal if they didn't like it.
