Richard Lloyd quotes:

How different South Africa's cricketing achievements, and indeed the future of the country itself, might have been if racism had not denied Frank Roro the opportunity of batting with Bruce Mitchell in the Lord's sunshine.

Cricket is a team game where individuals inspire each other to achieve performances which surpass what might otherwise be beyond them.

Rock is stronger than any misguided theories of cultural events. It's bigger than that.

Some of the albums I like best in the whole world are considered psychedelic albums. A psychedelic album is an album that when you put it on, if you listen to both sides, when it's over, your perceptions have been changed and I think that our record can do that.

Some-one called my style 'sense of urgency' guitar playing and I've always admitted I often don't know where I'm going when I solo. But that desperation is what makes it exciting.

Television was one of those magnificent kind of events where everything fell into place.

Television was the only band of its ilk that treated the guitar with delicacy, not as simple rhythm support for teenage aggression.

The guitar is like a cuisine and you can't expect people to eat the same thing all the time.

They were recorded without processed cheese. Listen to old '50s records. The style may be dated, but the recording isn't.

To me, the coolest riffs are composed of two guitar parts that interlock like gears. You need both parts to make whole. I work things out on an electric that's not plugged in to make sure a good tone isn't forgiving a part that couldn't stand up naked. Only after the parts are written will I struggle to find a tone that supports the creativity.
