Essentially we were a rock band playing rock songs but I was able to bring in some much more unusual guitar stylings as had been previously heard.

I think rock records tend to be very expensive.

I spend a lot of time working as a painter and in my studio I go from upstairs where I paint to downstairs where I play and record, so I get this thing crossing over.

I like to play with someone who can cover a lot of ground and someone with whom you can discuss the language at a reasonable level; otherwise it gets a bit frustrating.

I don't like playing standards. I like to do my own cutting edge work.

I don't have a great nostalgia for the past.
