There's two kinds of people in this world - those who talk about stuff and people who do stuff, and our fans are the latter.

You're all wrong about Marillion. Whatever you thought you knew about this record, forget it. Just put it on and listen to it.

We tried having a manager and a major label. They ended up with all the money. The fans were the only people we could trust. And the only people who understand us and truly value us.

Every year goes by I know I'm singing a bit better than the year before. It's a really good feeling and that's happened every year of my life since I started singing. Voice is like any other muscle, it gets fit through use and in my case it gets stronger through use.

I'd love to sing, just for five minutes, with Joni Mitchell because she's a genius.
