To be a great band it's like you have that telepathy. You know when the bass player's in back of you without even looking. You know when your guitar player's coming up to you to lean up to you and sing into your microphone. You just know these things. You feel it. You feel the energy of it.

Dead fish don't swim around in jealous tides.

I prefer a three-piece suit myself. Very sixties rock and roll. But they're not too quirky. Businessmen could wear them.

To be appreciated by a whole 'nother generation of fans, all of a sudden discovering you, it's kind of what I did with the classic bands I love - the ones that influenced me.

I tend to get my hands into all these other things and all these distractions, and after a while I start feeling depleted.

I can't read sheet music, I have to just listen to it, and then just go for it.

Great classic music that I've been turned on to has not only inspired and influenced me, but it has had an effect on my songwriting.
