People have told me repeatedly of how scared they were of seeing me on television.

I wanted to be like Pete Townshend or something but there's no way as a keyboard player that you can be flashy, so I decided to go the other way.

Gould recorded Bach's 'Variations' twice but the 1955 one was so fresh. He had a quirky approach to playing and he looked better than anybody: he would lean back on a tiny stool, wearing overcoats and scarves.

When we first started it was just Russell and myself and a guitar player, Earle Mankey, and unlike virtually any other band in Los Angeles, we began by recording rather than playing live, and so we had no feedback at all on what we were doing and we didn't realise how unusual it was.

I wouldn't be caught dead in a disco.

I don't know why, but I collect the hand sanitizers in every country that we visit.
