Jeff Lynne

The hairs stand up on the back of my neck at certain music.

I'm still getting thrilled with music even after 40 years of doing it professionally.

I just want to be in the studio. When you've got all the gear you want in your own house, it's difficult to go out and do something else, you know?

With literary fiction, generally a film maker falls in love with a book. In commercial fiction, it's a producer or studio falling in love with a book they can make into a movie with worldwide appeal.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.
