I like to live in the future.
Music is progressive, you get out, you experiment with new people and you grow.
I really like to do small venues. They're more intimate.
John Bonham was a good friend of mine. I knew him a bit as a kid. I hung out with him quite a lot.
I like being in a band where everybody's equal.
I'm not just a Sixties act.
After Wings I did a lot of recording rather than live work. I even went into a kind of semi-retirement to places like Spain at one point.
Since 1997 my career has been in America.
Wonderful Christmas Time' is a Christmas song but it was supposed to be an attempt at a traditional song.
Art is really more musical than it is visual.
Paul and I were friends, the Moody Blues toured with the Beatles on the second British tour. That developed into me working with Paul, whom I always admired.
I just keep to myself and live in the country and visit the cities.
Everyone tried to be a singer other than just a player. We had four voices in The Moody Blues.
Not that I got bored with it all, or I didn't like the people in The Moody Blues. I just wanted to go off and do other things purely because it was out there, you know. I'm kind of glad that I did and that I didn't just stick with one thing.
I knew Paul when he was in the Beatles. We did the second Beatles British tour with the Moody Blues. And we became friends. I went to a couple of the sessions for the 'Sgt. Pepper' album, we went to parties together, we went to see Jimi Hendrix together.
I've lived in England, France, Spain, Portugal and Germany in the '80s. I don't like being settled. It's not really healthy.
Music is my first love.
In the sixties when Paul was with the Beatles and I was with the Moody Blues, we shared the same bill and tried to blow each other off the stage.
I've no real musical training, although I took some piano lessons a while ago.
I've retreated to what I was originally, which is an individual songwriter.
