It's just a compulsion to create something new and stay busy. I don't know how to do anything else. It was never exactly right. Those records came out in spite of their flaws. And because of their flaws they were good.

I never decided to start singing, to be a singer.

We're not on a desperate mission to write chart compatible stuff.

Usually [the lyrics] go from one word to the next word - there's no finish line. The music was that way, too.

What producers did was mostly recording in the studio, so it never changed our sound just that much.

If a voice is just too nice, without an edge, it kinda all flows by. You forget it. You don't listen to the lyrics.

If you want to be negative about the whole thing you can say all guitar bands after the Beatles were just a waste of time because the Beatles were the best. I think it's far better to give new records a try.
