 As an artist, you're pretty sheltered backstage. You often don't know what's going on out there. |
| I have always been fascinated by dark and mysterious stuff. I guess I have a pretty dark and gloomy side. Writing songs saves me from going completely gonzo. |
| The only people who benefit from lawsuits are lawyers. I think we made a couple of them rich. |
| I am really addicted to music. |
| I don't see myself as the boss. I sing and write the songs, and it would feel strange if somebody else wrote the lyrics I sang. |
| I love what I'm doing most of the time, but it's hard work. People only see your albums in the charts. They see us at award shows and after-show parties. They don't know about your doubts, the hard work that goes in. |
| A happy wife is a happy life. |
| Lyrics are really important for me. |
| Wherever you look there are inspirations, books, literature, paintings, landscapes, everything. Just living is an inspiration. |
| I think it's pretty normal that there are a lot of people out there who don't like us. |
| I quite like Low, the band from Minnesota. They're absolutely mesmerizing. I get much the same feeling from anything that Will Oldham does. |
| Only the guys who never made it and will never make it in the U.S. need to put up the front that they don't care about America. |
| Dub and reggae... I play that a lot around the house. |
| I'm not a workaholic, but I was a bit manic, I have to confess. |
| I love seeing the fans of the music that I make. |
| As much as we all love playing live, it's not normal to be on the road all the time, to have no home. |
| The more I talk about things, the more I understand myself. |
| We recorded our first CD, Sixteen Stone, with a small budget and never dreamed that we would enjoy such a high success. It was simply fantastic. |
| I think people are too hard on the Pistols. The Pistols started the whole punk thing and never saw much money. |
| For the sound we produce, everybody is equally important. Each of us has a very different personality and that is what keeps Bush alive. |
