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.

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.

As soon as someone like me or David Lynch pops up everyone says hallelujah, how weird.

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

Production is something Ive never come to terms with.

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.
