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

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 think The Beatles are the lasting influence on me, even more so than Dylan.

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.

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

I thin many people's deviant behavior starts with dreams because dreams are so non-linear... as if there's an assumption that everything has to be linear or has to be plotted.

If you miss someone too much you turn into them... though it doesn't seem to work for the Christian Church.
