George Harrison was also a pleasure to work with. He was one of the most famous people I've ever known, but in spite of that fame, he was such a nice and friendly guy.

Anywhere you go in the world is what you make of it, not what you read in books.

So if you see Ten Years After, it's not me anymore. I'm very happy with what I am doing now.

Strangely enough, through all those school years I decided at 13 or 14 I was going to be a musician and so school was just something to get out of the way, a waste of time and not to bother with it.

I started off playing the clarinet, after I was inspired by listening to my dad's Benny Goodman records.

I just couldn't take school seriously: I had this guitar neck with four frets which I kept hidden under the desk. It had strings on it so I would practice my chord shapes under the desk and that's about all I did at school.

I'd love to change the world, but I don't know what to do
