Everyone has a right to change their consciousness, but ultimately the whole process is misleading.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

If I played just one song from every album, I would be onstage for two and a half hours. No one wants a show that long.
