Everything is fine now, ... We resolved it and the war of attrition is over. We're concentrating on all working hard together to make this record well known. We're down with them. It's just really good to be having a record out.
I wanted to do something a little bit harder than Bush, ... It's got a paranoid edge to it. It's a pretty difficult transition to go from my band Bush to this new terrain, this whole other world.
My life's changed a lot in the last couple of years, ... and hopefully this reflects it. I wanted to do something a little bit harder than Bush. It's got a paranoid edge to it.
I think people are too hard on the Pistols. The Pistols started the whole punk thing and never saw much money.
I love the hard music but I'm a sucker for melody.
I love what I'm doing most of the time, but it's hard work. People only see your albums in the charts. They see us at award shows and after-show parties. They don't know about your doubts, the hard work that goes in.
It's pretty hard to make out what's going to be a commercial success and what's not.
I always work hard to have a very close connection to the fans.
I don't know any musician who got to the top without hard work. Take whoever you want. They all work bloody hard, harder than you think.
I've been going through some pretty crazy stuff. And I've had to deal with a few people that I thought were pretty close to me turning around and just trying to destroy me, I think.
Cool to disappear, but I missed you most days.
There's nothing worse than someone coming up to me and going ''Oh God, I really love your hair.''
It felt, at first, slightly adulterous, and now it feels completely right.
The premise of that song is finding ways to deal with whatever's thrown at you. Wherever you are, whatever you do there are always tremendous pressures thrown at you, and one of the only ways to survive is to have this ability to roll with what life throws.
