Production is something Ive never come to terms with.

The Beatles were something everyone had in common; this was thirty years ago, there was Dr. Who and everybody knew who the Daleks were and there was The Beatles and everybody knew who George Harrison was.

I've never been burdened with a hit record, so I don't have to play the same songs. I play songs people think they like.

I became a musician because that's really what I wanted to do when I was fifteen, but I had other abilities.

Just as with a guitar, you can improvise a guitar solo, and they'd probably be similar each time, but they won't be exactly the same. With the word, it's probably a bit freer than that. I probably repeat myself more musically than I do verbally.

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.

You realize that the first Bryan Ferry album was pretty good although at the time it seemed a bit cheesy.
