To not be modest about it, you'll find that with only a couple of exceptions, most of the musicians that I've worked with have done their best work by far with me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm fascinated by musicians who don't completely understand their territory; that's when you do your best work.
I don't think that there's much that sets me apart from other musicians, but I think there are definitely things that set me apart from other kinds of artists. I feel that musicians do it their own way, write their own songs and put on a great live shows.
There are a lot better musicians than me out there that just haven't had the luck to fall into everything like I have.
When you play with great musicians, whether they're schooled or self-taught, they keep you on your toes. It comes down to people's personalities and individual energies.
Well, I've had a lot of different experiences in music over the years. And not everything you do can satisfy everybody's idealised version of you.
I mean, look how many musicians have come through and played beside me, and I'm workin' and they're not.
The wage for most musicians is a modest amount, and that includes me some of the time.
If you look at anyone at the top of their profession, there has to be something a little bit different. Some of the top musicians are quirky aren't they, to say the least. You have to be driven, cold, hard and mentally tough as iron. My missus thinks I'm a bit weird.
I've had the healthy and sobering experience of constantly working with music that is invariably better than any performance of it can be.
Yes, but the great thing about all the people - and I don't think there is any exception - who I've worked with is they've all been very, very talented musicians.
