Being

Quote_1.png
Peter Hammill
"Seriously, these days I tend to shut up in terms of external analysis and DO try to let things speak for themselves, while still trying to get some depth into them."

Trying

Peter Hammill

Peter Hammill

Time

Quote_1.png
Peter Hammill
"It costs so much to promote something these days that almost always safety is the preferred option, reference back to things which have been successful in the past. Also, people are simply not given the time to develop and find themselves and their audience as we were."

Time

Peter Hammill

"I had then and still retain an interest in science for its own sake and as a metaphor for our current lives."
