If you do things out of time you're weird.

Like trillions of others, if it wasn't for Bob Dylan, it would have been a different musical landscape. Pop music wouldn't have been my thing at all. I did also grow up listening to The Beatles, but I never thought of being a Beatle.

I was buying Bob Dylan mainly, everything I could get hold of by him.

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

Production is something Ive never come to terms with.

When I first started listening to music intently as a teenager, I was always sitting there with a biro or a pencil, drawing. That's how I absorbed it all.

I would be quite happy never to play any of my better-known songs again. But unless you're Dylan, you can't afford to completely disregard what your audience wants.
