Anybody who thinks pop music's easy should try to make a pop single and find out that it isn't.

When I'm singing I try not be a singer with a capital S. I just try to get it out so I feel comfortable with it.

There are people I would like to work with. Its a bit harder, because I live out in the sticks anyway, and plus being in a wheelchair means that I cant really circulate. So I tend to stick to my own thing.

I do think there are deep structural things that are wrong in the world.

People say, oh it's a shame, you're not nostalgic about the '60s. Well actually, it's quite good, when you think of it. Wouldn't it be sad if I was sitting here wishing it back?

I don't know how many thoughts we have a second, but it's quite an amazing number, and just to pin down the appropriate sequence of those, all you really need is a pencil and a piece of paper.

Drinking was a big help with me making music, because drinking gives you courage. But it also makes you reckless, and that's the trouble.
