We don't really have more than acouple of solos. It's just the way our music is put together.

Even the Beatles found it hard to escape their image; they were trapped by it.

Art is not predictable. Art is not golf, as great as that may be. There are 360 degrees of choice to make.

If you have this passion for music, you don't stop doing it - it chooses you and doesn't release you.

We always thought the Tom Tom Club could change to anything, but it acquired this image, which was cartoon animation and this real light-hearted dance music.

We had our unhappy moments but they got channelled into the kind of sadness that was necessary for singing a song about going nowhere. So it worked out very well I think.

We groove off of everything, any sort of live show. The inner dialogue you're having with yourself, between you and the music, is for me the search for God.
