I know people who grow old and bitter. I want to keep making a fresh start. I don't want them to defeat me. That would be suicidal.
From Robert Wyatt
I prefer the mystic clouds of nostalgia to the real thing, to be honest.
I don't do live things.
In theory, I'd like to work in a group. But the group I'd like to work in, all the musicians in them are long since dead.
When I lost the use of my hi-hat and bass drum legs, I became basically a singer. I was a drummer who did a bit of singing, and then I became a singer who did a bit of percussion.
I would like to think that the singer is the butterfly, and the drummer was just the little grub in the ground, working to become a caterpillar.
People are quite shocked when you remind them that Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra never wrote a song that they recorded in their lives, as far as I know.
I'm not full of malice, but I do dislike Neil Diamond a lot, and I'm sorry that I've done a Neil Diamond song.
I've always liked pop music. There was a bit of a misunderstanding with the avant-garde rock scene, because I think I was sort of swimming the wrong way, really.
Anybody who thinks pop music's easy should try to make a pop single and find out that it isn't.
