Anyone can rehearse and play constantly any song in the world.

Perhaps not as badly applied and not as obvious, but for thousands of years, people have worn makeup on stage.

When you're in a young band for the first time, geographically you're in the same place and you tend to go out and socialize. You play more shows, you spend more time together. You're a unit. As you grow older, inevitably you develop a life outside the band. I think it would be tragic if you didn't.

I wouldn't want to think people doted on us, hung on every word, or wanted to look like us.

My whole life I've played music for my own personal enjoyment and the idea of it becoming a machine or a business is just horrible.

I don't find the technology threatening. A lot of people my age, my generation, find it difficult to immerse themselves. But I would never preclude the idea of using any technology if I thought it suited the end result.

I never answer if someone knocks on my door and only the band and my manager have my phone number. In any case my phone doesn't ring so I never notice it. I occasionally just walk past and pick it up to see if anyone's there.
