"Not only did [Watkins] take 15 years' [work] away from me, but he took away my future as well […] even though the band was starting to decline, we could have gone away for a couple of years and then come back with the hope that people might give a shit. So we thought about calling it a day for a bit and then returning and going on the road and playing all our greatest hits until we were dead. That was the retirement plan, but that's all gone now."
