I’m not anything that you think I am.

A lot of people want to make films and do photography and things, but I'm quite happy doing what I'm doing.

You can play guitar in your canteen, you know, your hair might be longer, but there's a lot more to playing than travelling around universities and things.

And what exactly is a dream and what exactly is a joke?

I was sleeping in the woods one night after a gig we'd played somewhere, when I saw this girl appear before me. That girl was Emily. (on how he wrote "See Emily Play") "Chapter 24"-that was from the "I Ching", there was someone around who was very into that, most of the words came straight off that. "Lucifer Sam" was another one-it didn't mean much to me at the time, but then three or four months later it came to mean a lot.

I do tend to take lines from other lines I like, and then write around them.

I think it's good if a song has more than one meaning. Maybe that kind of song can reach far more people.
