I came back from Japanese tour a broken man to find that one of my outside productions was very high in the charts and that was Nazareth. I stepped into another career and suddenly became a well-known producer.

You can't play bass in a vacuum.

If you listen to what's on the pop charts, everything is machine oriented.

No one enjoys being away from friends and family.

You're playing the songs for the audience and they still think they're good songs. So I tend to get excited by that, audience reaction.

I don't want to produce anyone that doesn't want to be produced by me.

Obviously you take any creative people and put them in a room and you're going to get clashes, you're going to get friction.
