“When you're young, you obviously have people you look up to. People like Andrew Oldham and Nile Rodgers inspired me then, and they inspire me now. But at some point, you start to try to be the best you can be and you're not copying anybody else. I'm just doing it in public, and my work needs to reflect that as well.” PeopleNeedsTryingWellsLooksYoungInspireInspiredLook UpBeing The BestAndrewCopyingNile Author:Johnny Marr
“I haven't been walking around for years with some burning desire to do a solo record. If I had, maybe I'd have made a record that was experimental. Usually, the idea of a solo record is to get some weird stuff out of your system, but I don't think like that. I wasn't interested in making something that was a hard listen - maybe I'll get around to that some other time. I wanted it to sound effortless, not like I was trying to reinvent the wheel.” IfsThinkingTryingYearsMadeIdeasHardWantedDesireStuffSoundRecordsHavensWalkingBurningWheelsSoloEffortlessBurning DesireWeird Stuff Author:Johnny Marr
