| The Beatles, the Small Faces and the Kinks were great bands, but that was in the '60s. |
| It's pretty hard to make out what's going to be a commercial success and what's not. |
| Bob Dylan has a way with words that simply blows me away. When he forgets his lyrics he just makes up new ones on the spot, that is what I called talented! |
| In a band that works out well, everybody has a certain role to fulfill. |
| When I first began to write, I was writing on bass, because I was thinking more Public Image, more dub. |
| I pretty much grew up when punk was big in the UK. The Sex Pistols were heroes for me. I used to run around like Johnny Rotten. I had a jacket like his. |
| I was pretty taken with Patti Smith, she was my heroine. |
| Playing live, you can't survive, certainly not in England. We used to work daytime jobs and play gigs at night. It was very exhausting. |
| I don't know any musician who got to the top without hard work. Take whoever you want. They all work bloody hard, harder than you think. |
| I love playing live, I don't like studios all that much. I need the reaction of the audience. |
| For some critics we might be uncool on account of our popularity. |
| I always wrote about things that were important to me. I think our past success showed that it was also important for a lot of others. |
| Being real is what is important. |
