 Beyond a certain point, the music isn't mine anymore. It's yours. |
| I've spent the last year and a half going through a very public separation, hiding in hotel lobbies. |
| I'm not trying necessarily to become a movie star; that wouldn't be bad but that's not the aim. I'm just trying to do interesting things and go into areas where I've not been before. |
| I'm writing new songs for a Broadway version of Tarzan, which is very interesting. I think what I learned from the Brother Bear score side of things, I've brought into the new Tarzan songs. Thinking outside just guitar, bass, drums and keyboards. |
| No seriously... when there's families, you tend to go back to your room after the gig rather than go for a drink with the other guys. But there's always someone who's got something going, like the tour manager. |
| And I would like to marry and have more children. I would like to try and do it right. |
| The day Tarzan opened in London, I sat in a hotel room and discussed the project in detail. |
| On the day of the show, I sit down with someone that speaks very good English and someone who speaks the local language very well and work out what I'm going to say. |
| I know it shouldn't make a difference, but crossing the dateline, we weren't sure what day it was - it was very strange. Now, I seem to cope with it better. |
| We stayed in some pretty shabby places in Europe. |
| It's always been easy with Mark, he's a rock fan and we speak the same language. He's a big Beatles fan too. We worked a lot via CLI calls, though only meeting up once every couple of months. |
| Each thing leapfrogs. I do a Genesis project - like now, we're just finishing off an album - and then by the time the album is doing its thing, I could do nothing or I could do a film. |
| The world is in your hands, now use it. |
| I'll have the music, and then I'll just turn the microphone on, press Play and Record and sing. And whatever comes out ends up being the melody. |
| Another time, we had three days off in Australia, so we went out of our way to fly to Ayres Rock. |
| When I go on Japanese Airlines, I really love it because I like Japanese food. |
| You know, a song is like a kid. You bring it up. And sometimes something you thought was going to be fantastic, by the time it's finished, is a bit of a disappointment. |
| I do that in whatever language of the country I'm in, because the audience appreciate it. |
| When we're touring America or Europe, we use our own plane and a great advantage of that is it cuts out an awful lot of time checking in. You literally drive up to the plane, get on and then drive off at the other end. |
| Often there's a BA crew, because half the time we stay at the same hotels, especially in Australia. I can remember spending quite a lot of time with crews around the pool there. They always make themselves known to us. |
