Richard Thompson dixit

«Perfection is a false goal. The perfect record is the one with faults.»

«We looked at what David Bowie was doing, or what proto-progressive like The Nice -- who we used to go and see at The Marquee -- were doing and we thought, "This is more radical". [...] With Fairport [Convention] we were reconnecting with the roots of British music, and that, to us, was as radical as John Cage!»
