Question: "Look our 15 minutes is up and I’d love to talk with you for hours but I can’t, so I want to sneak in one last question – If you were an animal, what would you be?" Steven Wilson: "If I were an animal? (pause) Oh wow, I’ve never been asked that question before, umm (longer pause) oh gosh, I really don’t know, I really don’t know. I mean I love animals, I’m a vegetarian, I have a little doggy who is the most special thing in my life but to actually be an animal? To exist as an animal? I guess, horse, yeah I think a horse has a most beautiful elegance and slightly sad. They always look sad to me or kind of melancholic as though they’ve got the weight of the world on their shoulders, but they are a very beautiful and elegant creature. So I’m going to say, a horse, there you go. Put me on the spot- that’s what I’m going to say."

Steven Wilson: "It’s been a week when human beings’ unnecessary cruelty towards other human beings has been much in the media, and rightly so, but to me there is one thing even more concerning, and that is our unnecessary cruelty towards the other species that share this planet with us. In the past I’ve been fairly reluctant to use what little celebrity I have to force my life choices on others, but perhaps I can at least ask you to take a few minutes of your day to watch this impassioned speech by Australian animal welfare campaigner Philip Wollen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQCe4qEexjc" Source: https://www.facebook.com/StevenWilsonHQ/posts/964772133543049
