I got involved in music because I love everything about it, but now I'm in it you see the other side and it isn't much fun. Not as glamorous and enjoyable as you imagine.

Music is a hobby, because I'm not making any money out of it, but I put just as much conviction into that as I do into my acting.

But, of course, one relies on the everyday people who just simply like your music, for whom you may not be a hobby but they enjoy being in your presence at a concert.

I'm into music for all different sorts of purposes.

I love doing concert music.

If I have an audience, I'd like to make music for my whole life. But it's not really up to me.

I try to put the same spirit into that that I put into any other music endeavor I'm involved in.

For me to call myself a musician, it's necessary to play live, and it rewards so much - not just in the pay cheque sense but what it does for my playing. I feel it through a tour - I feel it at the end of a tour - all that I've gathered, and especially now that I am improvising so much.

I watch films. I play the guitar: me and some mates - I wouldn't dignify it with the term band - get together and play.

I'm a musician because I love it and it's supposed to be fun.
