I was always jealous of something getting more attention.

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

An un-named song is like an un-named child, it has no identity.

As soon as a norm is established, people start questioning it, which is probably a good thing in the end.

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.

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

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