One of the ideas behind doing this acoustic record is that I didn't want to have to produce it by committee.

Every so often you have to increase your profile so you can let it lower again, like a balloon.

There's nothing in the future and there's nothing in the past. There is only this one moment, and you've got to make it last.

I can tell how I'm doing, and I can tell if the crowd is particularly dead.

People from the past always seem to have much more time to create beautiful, intricate, delicate things that often reach the future in a kind of curled-up, capsized state.

The band is like a vintage car. You take it out to go for a spin for a couple miles, but you wouldn't drive across the country.

Coming out's the hardest part, when you're Queen Elvis.
