Generally, I have an instinct for the noncommercial. And the unpopular.

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

Promoting a record on a major label is like running a minor military campaign.

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.

Like trillions of others, if it wasn't for Bob Dylan, it would have been a different musical landscape. Pop music wouldn't have been my thing at all. I did also grow up listening to The Beatles, but I never thought of being a Beatle.

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

Let there be more darkness
