I Have A Definite Talent For Convincing

I Think Audiences Are Quite Comfortable Watching Something Coming Into Being.

Agressive Music Can Only Shock You Once. Afterwards Its Impact Declines. It's Inevitable.

If You Are Part Of A Religion That Very Strongly Insists That You Believe Then To Decide Not To Do That Is Quite A Big Hurdle To Jump Over. You Never Forget The Thought Process You Went Through. It Becomes Part Of Your Whole Intellectual Picture.

I Still Do Mostly Listen To Cds. I Think That Every Format Really Is A Different Way Of Listening. If You Take A Different Sort Of Psychological Stance To It - Like, I Think The Transition From Vinyl To Cd Definitely Marked A Difference In The Way People Treated Music. The Vinyl Commands A Certain Kind Of Reverence Because It's A Big Object And Quite Fragile So You Handle It Rather Carefully, And It's Expensive So You Pay Attention To How It's Looked After.

Songs That Don't Depend On Composition Depend Instead On Performance - So The Fire Has To Be There In The Playing.
