"We decided to play the NEC because we were asked to, and because we actually rather like the place: we've always enjoyed doing it before. We don't often get sensible offers to play in the UK, so most years we just play on the mainland, with the occasional exotic detour."

"Want to play baseball?' she asked. Shane's eyes opened, and he stopped stroking her hair. "What?' "First base,' she said. "You're already there.' "I'm not running the bases.'

"I know my name gets used illegally all the time all over the internet. You know, it is a trademarked name, so it will be something that we always have to deal with. I never needed to change it. It was always fine with me. It is a strange name; that's for sure."
Change

"We will have close to 3 months of rehearsals to learn about 30 songs. Frank usually rehearsed a band for at least 3 months. If it took him that long to be comfortable we probably would need double the amount, but It's just not financially possible to do so."
Months

"Music can be so disturbing and frustrating. I mean the business side of it. The actual making music part is fun, but the business side of it is just so out of control, has nothing to do with anything."
Business

"There's no difference in a lot of people's minds between good musicians and popular musicians."
People

"I really want younger audience members to see kids in their early 20's playing Frank's music and to be inspired to take things to a higher level themselves."

"Well, I haven't been doing that much work with other people per se. I started doing more of that."
