I have to do what I'm doing at the time. That's the most important thing. You might lose some people along the way, and you might gain other people on the way, that's just the way it is. But nevertheless, if you're driven by something, there is no argument about it that's what you have to do.

I love the Kinks, but I like all sorts of music. If I stay at home at night and play records, I just go through the whole spectrum, really. I just love music.

It's a global fashion thing because of the Internet it has gotten really small. It's cluttered, but it's gotten small.

I could write songs about politics, but I'm conscious of not writing songs that sound the same as the ones I wrote 30 years ago.

In my old age, my mind gets more open, and I listen to so many different types of music and I guess that all reflects in my work.
