I think the death knell for any musician is getting a job that you like and pays enough that you just stay there forever.

Ideally, musicians belong outside the Establishment. When they cross that line, it's like something in them has died.

I don't trawl record shops anymore. I usually hear music in bars or at friends' houses.

I have always abhorred the business end of music.

I don't relate to what's left of the music business. There doesn't seem to be any point to it anymore. The business that I grew up in and loved, we made records a different way - there were record companies, there were stores where you could buy albums.

There's a lot of good musicians who are unheard of. Get it down before they pass away.

First of all, I think that is true, if you are a musician, particularly on the come, that you do have to end up in one of these musical centers, some way, to be viable, saleable and so on.

I still like to play the guitar, but I rarely have anything to do with the music business these days. I mean, there is no music business anymore, is there?

The bricks and mortar of the music business, they don't exist any longer.
