“I really hope before the [European] summer I can put the record out and I really want to do a live show and a live tour and go places and just play my songs. You know, not have the pressure of having to play songs to please the crowd.”

"I’m also doing an album with Kim Salmon which is about two-thirds of the way through. I’m a creative person; that’s why I don’t want to do The Johnnys anymore."

“When it comes to album time we don’t any sort of restrictions on what we want to put out, and we don’t want to do it to please anyone – we just want to try and have a great album that we love."

“I’d rather stay completely uninfluenced by anything, especially when I make an album.”

"I poured a lot into this, and I’m glad it came out the way it did... It’s just life, y’know? I knew these songs were a bit more fragile than previous things that I had written before."

“It’s a live show, so it can take you there. I mean you’re not there feeling all the subs and smelling all the smells and getting the lights, but it wouldn’t sound the same if we did that in a recording studio."

"We all love getting on our laptops and getting involved in the music programs coming out. There are so many good music programs and so much you can do with them."

"My belief is that it’s not my conscious self, it’s the old people divining me to go back to the songlines – my ancestry tapping me on the shoulder.”

“The great thing about Nuggets is that it was a moment in time that was as inspirational as any time in rock’n’roll."

Solange Knowles: I owned Sol-Angel And The Hadley St. Dreams but it didn’t have a huge effect on me. Nothing like the effect Losing You is having on me. I practically have Solangitis.
