I was always struck by how Picasso had no interest in music.

I start really missing London when I go away. I have a little flat, but very central. I live above a pub and you'd think it'd be a nightmare, but I like hearing the music and it's quite comforting.

I am happy to make money. I want to make more money, make more music, eat Big Macs and drink Budweisers.

I didn't want to go out and change anything. I just wanted to make the music that was part of my background, which was rock and blues and hip-hop.

It didn't even occur to me that I'm the last person in the world who should play salsa or Brazilian music.

You create a community with music, not just at concerts but by talking about it with your friends.

I've noticed a lot of younger artists have less fear of doing different sorts of things, whether it's various types of music, or gallery artists moving between video and sculpture and drawing.

The making of music is profoundly affected by the market.

We don't make music - it makes us.

People are already finding ways to make their music and play it in front of people and have a life in music, I guess, and I think that's pretty much all you can ask.
