I Actually Think The Creative Process Is

I Was Getting Monkees Monthly And There Was A Competition To Draw A Monkee. I Did A Caricature Of Micky Dolenz And Won 10 Pounds-a Fantastic Sum Of Money For Me Then. I Bought A Secondhand Tape Recorder, Which Further Launched Me. They've Been Very Responsible For Me Getting Started.

Where I've Arrived Now Is The Product Of Mixing The Very Straight With The Very Exploratory; There's A Fine Line Between The Two, Although It Tends To Be Getting Straighter And Straighter Because My Songwriting Is Getting Better.

I Actually Think The Creative Process Is Finite, And I'm Wondering Whether I've Retched Everything Up. Because It's Like Vomiting Or Shitting.

We Do This For The Art, Not The Adulation. I'd Rather Our Music Get Liked And We Get Ignored. I Don't Want To Be Adored For Anything Other Than The Music.

I've Always Liked The Idea Of Improvised Music. Improvised Anything. It's What Conversation Is.
