“The only time it dominates is during a solo, or when we play a low blues and I put figures in behind Eric’s vocals.”

The one phrase you can use is that success has a thousand fathers, and failure is an orphan.

Everybody’s going through changes. No one knows what’s going on.

It’s silly to say that with a journalist, but sometimes there is not a truth to be found.

Classical music’s ability to translate emotional themes is fantastic.

I use a lot more chords than most organists and I’m careful to phrase them with the guitar.

I quite like childlike songs, which sometimes cross over.

I think it’s like everything else; one shouldn’t dig too deeply.

Which is understandable if you’re the producer, but aggravating if you’re the artist.

Everybody changes places, but the world still carries on.

The Liberal State is a mask behind which there is no face; it is a scaffolding behind which there is no building.

The mask was a thing on it’s own, behind which Jack hid, liberated from shame and self-conciousness.

Climbing the economic ladder has been very hard for me; I still feel a great deal of guilt towards those I left behind.

For me, I say no, but then I am old, and life, with his sunshine, his fair places, his song of birds, his music and his love, lie far behind. You others are young. Some have seen sorrow, but there are fair days yet in store. What say you?

It’s kind of a hybrid, half movie, half play, presented in a proscenium fashion – the camera’s on one side of the line, the set on the other, the audience sitting behind the cameras.

When you got people behind you, you can do whatever.
