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.

I've never been burdened with a hit record, so I don't have to play the same songs. I play songs people think they like.

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.

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.

If people were really naked and everyone knew what each other was thinking, everyone would probably just laugh... or they'd lock each other up.

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

Playing acoustic and line drawings are the two things I'm most competent at.
