"What did I do to make Mommy leave?â€ â€œYou didnâ€™t do anything. This isnâ€™t your fault.â€ â€œThen why?â€ sheâ€™d wailed. â€œI donâ€™t know,â€ her daddy had said, and he looked so sad. â€œIt isnâ€™t fair!â€ â€œNo, it isnâ€™t, baby. Not by a mile. The worldâ€™s only as fair as you can make it. Takes a lot of fight. A lot of fight. But if you stay in here, in your own little cave, thatâ€™s one less fighter on the side of fair."

“We're in a situation now where we've got five long-play records of sort of eerie psychedelic pop music. I don't think that we can make another one. That's really my position on it. If we were to do a film soundtrack or something else where I could take the rest of the band with me. I really don't think bands should make more than five records anyway. In fact, five is one too many. We'll have to see how it pans out.”
