I Do Think Fame Can Distort Reality.

When You Are Famous, You Never Can Be Sure Why Somebody's Being Nice. You Just Have To Develop A Very Good Sixth Sense. I Call It My Bullshit Detector.

What Stood Me In Good Stead Was My Upbringing. I Had A Musician Father, A Very Religious Mother Who Totally Supported Us. My Mom Gave Me My Moral Code Which, Even If I Was Bad, I Wasn't Bad For Very Long. If You're Born And Raised Catholic, It Stays With You A Lifetime. It's A Good Thing To Have. My Dad Gave Me A Very Professional Attitude To The Music Business, And For That I Thank Them 100%.

I Also Have A Big Love Of Classical Music Played On Piano Because This Is The Environment I Grew Up In My Brother Being One Of The Great Masters In This World.

I Feel That Whatever You Put Out Is What You'll Get Back. I Always Put Out, 'hey, Hi, I'm A Bass Player, No Bullshit,' And That's What I Got Back. I Got The Respect.

The Bass Player's Function, Along With The Drums, Is To Be The Engine That Drives The Car... Everything Else Is Merely Colours.
