These are the days of the endless summer, these are the days, the time is now. There is no past, there's only future, there's only here, there's only now.

I have some intellectual-type pursuits, like studying philosophy and stuff like that.

The first piece of music that captured my imagination was probably Ray Charles Live At Newport.

I think Paul McGuinness and U2 created the Irish music industry. It certainly wasn't there before that.

I've always listened to jazz or folk or blues. I was always listening to the prophets. I don't really go for...I don't know how to say anything about the singles scene without slamming people.

What I really like to do is just do the twist!

I didn't know what some of the stuff on Astral Weeks was about until years later.
