I'm not really a good singer. But most people aren't, either.

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

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.

Most comedians I know are quite serious, anxious people who find life rather difficult. As a consequence, they make people laugh.

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

The band is like a vintage car. You take it out to go for a spin for a couple miles, but you wouldn't drive across the country.
