All me and my brother knew was sports - music was never something I ever really thought of.
I haven't heard any music on the BBC World Service in a long time. Maybe I'm listening at the wrong times. But not one single piece of music.
That's the amazing thing about music: there's a song for every emotion. Can you imagine a world with no music? It would suck.
I did miss the music a bit - but only in the wings, when I was waiting to go on. It seemed dreadfully quiet, rather unnerving. But the wonderful thing was that one didn't have to be quite so obsessive about one's health, and one's voice.
Music left my life for a while, to be honest. It wasn't that I didn't like it, but you know, I'm not really a solo player.
When a band retires or is In hiding, a void is created. The fans' need is still there.
Sometimes, scenes are great without any music at all.
Only a world without love strikes me as instantly and decisively more terrible than one without music.
I definitely grew up as a small-town... I guess you could call it the 'small-town football player,' according to the stereotype. I wasn't involved in music at all.
You know, one of the tragedies of real life is that there is no background music.
I don’t have music, Christ I wish I had music but all I have is words.
It's been really fun to see what happens to my body when I don't have an instrument attached to it.
