Anyone who doesn't think the government killed my father either hasn't given the issue much thought, or is insane.

I'm not trying to overcome my father or fill his shoes or reach any kind of level that he did. We're talking about a [Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart] of rock music.

If the reviews hurt they're probably right on some level.

I wouldn't even say "Imagine" is political. I think it's…more just sort of declaration of humanity. I don't find his political songs to be the ones that I go home and listen to. And I would say that of any artist. They're not the ones that interest…

I have a specific set of, I have a specific sort of negative energies to deal with that might be specific to me, but it definitely something that all artists have to deal with at one point or another. But I think for me, it's just maybe more specific.

I do think British tailoring is the best. French people hate me when I say that, but I do think it's true.

I like songs that have lots of different parts in them, an intro, an outro and a bridge.
