The record business is changing a lot, and I don't think to the detriment of music - I think, if anything, it's helping music. It's to the detriment of the business in some aspects. In many ways, you might say this is not the time to be going back to the majors, it's the time to be leaving them, which is a good point.

The mother of invention in music is necessity, not Frank Zappa!

Punk [rock] seemed like rock 'n' roll music utterly without the music.

A lot of people think that the music was responsible for a lot of changes in the Sixties, but I think the music came out of it. The music wouldnt have happened without the social changes.

One man puts the fire out, the other lights the fuse.

I'm the same boy I used to be.

Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine.
