On the rock stars: Rock stars don't talk to each other. They're too important to talk to another one. They've all got their own little palace, their own universe, of which they are the head. So how can they possibly go to somebody else's universe? They can't handle it. I will one day write the book that shows just how massive some of these egos are. Because I was a slow success, I was meeting people socially whose records I had at home, who were now talking to me on a what-strings-do-you-use level. And very few of them have not disappointed. [Pink Floyd's] Dave Gilmour is the only one that [hasn't disappointed]. That paints everyone else as a cunt. Which they are. But Gilmour is fabulous. (Chris Rea)
