I Just Want To Leave This World

Cynicism And Defensiveness Are Two Things Constantly Levelled At Me. Look, I've Got Time For People, I'm Good Mannered. I Usually Find That When You're Down, Nobody Has A Bloody Minute For You. If I Was A Nobody, You Wouldn't Even Talk To Me. People, In General, Don't Like You Being Upfront And Civil. They Hate You For It. They Label You A Cynic 'cos You're Reasonable.

I've Always Been At War With The Guitar. All Vocalists Are Fighting A War With The Electric Rhythm Guitar.

I Have To Be Able To Pull You In. How Can I Diversify My Audiences? What Role Do I Have To Play To Be Part Of That Shift? I Have To Take That Seriously.

I Always Thought My Records Were Number One; It's Just The Charts Didn't Think So.

I Feel Like I've Spent The Last Five Years Of My Life On The Road. It Hasn't Affected My Songs But It's Probably Affected Everything Else About Me. Obviously, The More You Travel, The Wilder The Things That Keep Happening To You, The More Likely It Is You'll Get Complete Strangers Knocking On Your Hotel Room Door.
