"Probably everybody gets approached at a certain point, because, as you said, it's an obvious thing to do. I think you have to be kind of careful and you can't get drawn into the fact that just because you're successful and they're successful, that doesn't mean it's a wise thing to do. Sometimes it works, and sometimes you do it for a laugh. Sometimes it's just... I don't know... there's just chemistry there, where you've always wanted to work with that person and you really don't care whether people like it or not, you just really wanted to do it. I think a lot of the times, the reason bands work and musicians work is because it's a chemistry. There's an internal chemistry, you see what I mean? It's not based on what the public's fantasy is, but it's based on real relationships with people. Just because you're well-known and they're well-known doesn't mean it has the magic. You've got to stay objective. Sometimes it just works. I've worked with a lot of really wonderful people. It's not like I haven't collaborated. I've worked with Robert Plant. I've worked with Peter Gabriel. I've worked with Michael Stipe and Trent [Reznor]. It's not like I haven't done it, but I'd like to think that we did it for the right reasons."

"The other great piece of advice came from Peter Gabriel. After we worked together, he took me aside and said, 'you have to get your own workshop. It's very important.' So we set about converting our barn into a state-of-the-art recording studio. It's called Martian Studios, and when you see all the computers and monitors, you probably do feel as though you've walked into ground control at NASA."

"He [Peter Gabriel] said, 'Get your own studio. Because if you're having a rift with your record company, they have to call the owners of the studio to get the artists' masters.' That can come in quite handy."
