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.

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

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.

I consider my music to be Progressive Synth Pop, which says nothing about what it sounds like, but does describe my basic approach.

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

I leave the genre labeling to other people. I really do. If I were to think too hard about it, that would stifle you creatively. If you think too hard about who other people want you to be as an artist, it stops you from being who you want to be as an artist.
