Businesses that grow by development and improvement do not die. But when a business ceases to be creative, when it believes it has reached perfection and needs to do nothing but produce no improvement, no development, it is done.

Groups break up because they never got across what they wanted to do personally, and they have creative differences, and egos start to clash.

When I have a creative insight, there is a high. I think back in the day, I made music as much as I did because it made me feel so good. I think you could argue that there is a creative addiction - but, you know, the healthy kind.

We're a very expensive group; we break a lot of rules. It's unheard of to combine opera with a rock theme, my dear.

It's not to anybody's best interest to think about how they will be perceived tomorrow. It hurts you in the long run

Most of my ideas belonged to other people who never bothered to develop them.
