If you're a musician and an artist, you don't just stop.

You put something you like on really loud, and you feel godlike.

I watched my mother waste her life on housework and swore I'd never do that. Dave does the cooking.

Music bypasses the intellect, it makes you laugh, makes you cry, makes you want to dance, makes you want to have sex.

I've tended to avoid meeting my heroes. They aren't necessarily the nicest people anyway. The exception was George Harrison, one of the loveliest men I've ever met. He lent me his home studio to make Hormonally Yours.

Music is a gut thing. You're working in a medium which is more in touch with the primal than the modern. A gig is a ritual. There's a congregation.

It's refreshing to hear something that's pop but doesn't sound like Britney Spears.
