I think of me being a painter eventually.

'Arnold Layne' just happens to dig dressing up in women's clothing. A lot of people do - so let's face up to reality.

I thought 'Arnold Layne' was a nice name and fitted well into the music I had already composed. Then I thought, 'Arnold must have a hobby,' and it went from there.

Hendrix was a perfect guitarist. And that's all I wanted to do as a kid. Play a guitar properly and jump around.

Mostly, I just waste my time.

It's rather difficult to think of anybody being really interested in me.

I'm sorry I can't speak very coherently.

I wasn't always this introverted.

There’s so much around, you don’t know what to listen to. All I’ve got at home is Bo Diddley, some Stones and Beatles stuff, and old jazz records.

In the future, bands are going to have to offer more than a pop show. They are going to have to an offer a well presented theatre show.
