I'm good at line-drawing, and some of my color stuff is okay. So I just do it for record covers.

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

I became a musician because that's really what I wanted to do when I was fifteen, but I had other abilities.

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.

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.

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

You realize that the first Bryan Ferry album was pretty good although at the time it seemed a bit cheesy.
