1- Live shows are fun – sometimes. But you have to practice for months on end.
2- It all comes down to what you truly love doing, and what I love doing is overdubbing and making new sounds out of things that are sometimes quite ordinary on their own, but when you put them together, they make something new–or something that sounds new. Just discovering things like that musically is a pleasure.
3- As you get older, the days have gone, and the years have gone, and it’s ‘whoosh!
4- Music is my first love.
5- Old music is the same as new music – it’s just a different way of delivering it.

7- I like the natural sound of a room. All the rooms have their own sound, so it’s a matter of putting it where you like and seeing what it sounds like.
8- When you do a song new live on stage, it’s kind of a bit weird until it gets worn in, you know, like oiled up a bit. It’s still a little bit stiff until you really thrashed at it for a few weeks.
