Production is something Ive never come to terms with.

I'm not really a good singer. But most people aren't, either.

Promoting a record on a major label is like running a minor military campaign.

If you make money back from your record, you're doing it smart. It's an expensive hobby. I'm lucky enough to still make a living as a musician through live work and odd bits of royalties.

After the Soft Boys I just didn't want to work with any more guitarists.

I could never be a professional comedian, 'cause you have to keep telling the same jokes. For me, they're like word solos.

I'm 63. It's kind extraordinary that I'm out here at all and people want to see me.
