I was always the sexy bass player in the background while Robin stood centre. Barry and I played it up a bit, gave 'em a bit of thigh.

I always got great respect as a bass player.

I still don't really feel like a bass player.

The lousy guitar player in any band is the bass player.

At the time, I didn't know that bass would not be enough for me. I'm not a bass player because bass is always a background instrument even to this very day.

None of us wanted to be the bass player. In our minds he was the fat guy who always played at the back.
