I suppose that by being absent from the music business, it appeared that I just dropped out, but really I never did. I was continuously working and doing various things.

If you are a musician and you don't show any interest on the business level then you are actually vulnerable and people will rip you off. They will sweet talk you into anything.

My job of being a musician in a recording studio has nothing to do with being a musician being on tour performing.

The public is usually slow to catch on to new things, and it's important that musicians stick to their guns and not look for that instant gratification.

I've never understood musicians who don't enjoy doing promotional interviews. I just can't believe it. I always think, 'Your life must have been so brilliant before you were in a band.'

I do not play to musicians. I play to the people.

Every band I knew or played with had flyers and properly-recorded demos and contacts; I couldn't even get a gig.

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.

It's a luxury to not have to just be performing with other people to have my music heard.

All my concerts had no sounds in them; they were completely silent. People had to make up their own music in their minds!
