“We've always had our hardcore fans. But the general public has a love-...” — Dave Davies Quote

We've always had our hardcore fans. But the general public has a love-hate thing about the 'Kinks.' It always leaves people with a question mark on their heads.

As an individual, I think you have to find your own path. I like the simplicity and purity of Hinduism and many elements of Buddhism. These are all means of accessing spiritual energy.

My family making music was like a folk background, really: banging on tabletops, playing banjo and all kinds of things.

A lot of our music came out of a lot of weird psychology and weird emotions. When you play the whole body of work, you get tossed all over the place. It's not easy listening. It's not even comfortable to listen to.

But I'm a historian. I wasn't interested in just being a producer, I was interested in doing research and presenting that research to a general public.

In general, I find that for videos the acting is more realistic.

You can teach students how to work; you can teach them technique - how to use reason; you can even give them a sense of proportions - of order. You can teach them general principles.

In general, I'm pretty shy and nervous about a lot of things. For me to get on stage for the first time took so many times at an open mic before I finally got on stage and did it.
