I think that the music industry is such an interesting place, and there are so many situations that people don't know about.

At the end of the day, there's only a few major stars in the music business, and then there's all these people that are aspiring to be that.

I don't spend a lot of time thinking of what they'll do musically, I try to imagine being locked into a windowless room with this person for twelve hours at a time. If you can look at that and think it might be fun then maybe you've got the right musician.

The world is full of musicians who can play great, and you wouldn't cross the road to see them. It's people who have this indefinable attitude that are the good ones.

A lot of people these days are not music lovers - they just want to be famous which is a very different thing to what I grew up believing in.

I still don't understand the music industry that much. Everything I learned was from hanging out with rock musicians in studios. I certainly have respect for those who make music their livelihood.

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

Yeah, man I am going to be writing a book soon. The reality of being in a rock band in the music business'.

I think maybe people see bands and musicians as some sort of superhero unrealistic sport that happens in another dimension where it's not real people and not real emotions. So, I grew up listening to Beatles records on my floor. That's how I learned how to play guitar. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be a musician.

In a sense, the music business and I haven't always been the best of bedfellows. Artists often have to fight their corner. Your music goes through these filters of record labels and media, and you're hoping you'll find someone who'll help you get your work into the world.
