I think politicians are so far out of step with what people really want.
There are so many artists who get to my age that get comfortable and just stick in a groove, and I really don't want to do that.
I want to hear as much music as I possibly can before I leave this mortal coil but it's impossible to hear it all because there's so much of it.
I was always taught as a kid that if there's anything you want in life, you've got to work towards it. I guess that sort of stayed with me, really.
If you're making music, you must want to turn other people on to it, whether you're number one in the charts or number 60.
I still want to do what I want to do, but we also have to think about some sense of protecting the business that's out there as well.
If you're in music, you're in music, and if you're in music you just want to keep making records and playing. That's what it's about, isn't it? At least, that's what I always thought it was about, anyway.
