If any of our songs ever did make it on the top ten, I'd disband the group immediately.

I honestly don't class myself as a songwriter. I've got 'musician' written on my passport. That's even funnier.

There may be said to be three sorts of lawyers, able, unable, and lamentable.

The very first concert I ever went to on my own was actually Rory Gallagher. In a one-month period in 1973 or '74, I saw him, Thin Lizzy and the Rolling Stones. I wasn't really a big Rory Gallagher fan, but I thought his guitar playing was fabulous. But Thin Lizzy, they were fabulous.

Performing doesn't come that naturally to me, even though I've done it for years.

I'm in the strange position of the world drifting away from me, but you know what? I'm actually quite content with that. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. I don't feel like, 'Oh God, I'm being left behind.'

I lose myself in music because I can't be bothered explaining what I feel to anyone else around me.
