But anyway, I was convinced that it would go away, you know. But the idea was that he was sitting on a flight - you know, one of those sort of fairly long flights, like, sort of, you know, Newark to Denver or something like that - so, you know, a few hours.

I suppose I was waiting until I was old enough to have some sort of experience to sing about. When you're young, it's hard to sing the blues. Nobody believes you.

My latest theory is that it's - well, I describe it as, like, being in an apartment with kind of thin walls. And in the apartment next door, they've got a radio tuned constantly on - tuned to a really cool radio station. It's on all the time. And you can just hear it coming through the wall all the time.

I felt that in order to do what I wanted to do, I had to do certain things, and one of them was to have a hit in my own right. At least one.
Nick Lowe
Be a military flier or be in a band those were the two hippest things I could imagine.
Nick Lowe
I use the name and the thought very, very easily as a sort of comfort - as a kind of comfort, in some way. And in that way, it's just like having a friend, I suppose.
Nick Lowe
I used to sort of take the phone off the hook, you know, put my feet up and watch the TV until it was all over.

When punk rock came along, the one thing you were not supposed to be was musical.
Nick Lowe
To a certain extent, yes, we do. But there's - but there's a very limited menu. There's only about sort of 20 songs that you hear on rotation.
Nick Lowe
I like being a big fish in a small pond. I'm not interested in a huge audience because it brings headaches.
Nick Lowe
You've got to really know your song, inside and out.
Nick Lowe
The number of contemporary artists who appeal to me is infinitesimal.
Nick Lowe
Later in life, suddenly, if you're an outsider, it's something to be celebrated, I think, rather than getting on people's nerves.
Nick Lowe
A devastating culmination of the elegant and the funky, a really sensational musician with enormous depth.

Going to Nashville to meet the in-laws was the first time when I'd been in America and not been seen as some sort of eccentric character with a cute accent.
Nick Lowe
Cruel to be kind means that I love you.

The world is full of musicians who can play great, and you wouldn't cross the road to see them. It's people who have this indefinable attitude that are the good ones.
Nick Lowe
I've always felt quite like an outsider. I don't really belong in the mainstream, and I quite like that.
Nick Lowe
I'm still kind of a hapless character in my everyday life. But when it comes to the writing, my influences are very old influences. I love American music of absolutely all stripes, including show tunes, advertising jingles, theme tunes from quiz shows, all kinds of American music.
Nick Lowe
If a hit came along, I wouldn't be unhappy about that. But I'm a bit too old for that now-doing videos and all those types of TV shows. I've kind of done all that, in the '70s.
