Each of my records has a different focus, a different theme.

I am pretty detached from the local music crowd though.

There's nothing remotely interesting to me about marketing music as a product.

People are essentially losing their temper for things that have nothing to do with the act of driving.

You can't get away from who you are I guess.

My feeling is that nuclear is a distraction. It stops us doing what we all know we need to do invest urgently in renewables.

Three quarters of producers don't even know who I am. The other quarter think I am dead.

The human race is fundamentally insane. If you put two of us into a room together we're soon gonna start figuring out good reasons to kill one another.

The more inventory a company has, the less likely they will have what they need.

The thing that you think is imperfect about you, is the thing that makes you who you are. It separates you from everybody else.

"I hope, sir, that I will shoot your picture on your hundredth birthday." I don't see why not, young man. You look reasonably fit and healthy.
