I've performed solo for 20 years now, but I don't do much of it, because if you only play alone, you go crazy and out of tune and play foolish music.

I try to be careful not to do single concerts where I fly out, do my show, turn around and go home.

The greatest benefit of being a solo performer is that it is seriously frightening, but at the same time very empowering. It's just you and the audience. All the weight is on you to deliver the songs.

The thing for me is I never had this burning desire to do a solo record my whole life.

There's definitely a solitary aspect to not having a band, and there are times when I wish that I did.

For a long time, I couldn't actually deal with playing concerts; it was a totally alien concept to me, 'cause I was used to playing in clubs and dance halls.

I've always looked on myself as one of a band and never sought a solo career.

And when I perform on my own tour, I have to talk myself into going out on that stage every single night.

I have no want or desire to solo. I'd rather create melodies and accompanying parts.
