I would like to play with electronic keyboards again.

There is always the working out of things, and you have to have sort of a gut response to it. And an intellectual response. And an aesthetic response. All that comes from having done this for a long time. Instead of saying, "That's a really good rock track, and that will do," I'm looking for something that is more original and fresh. There are a lot of elements to get into it: a level or sophistication, passion and excitement.

You come off of this screaming audience of many, many thousands of people. I used to find it very weird. You have two choices. Either you can stay and pump flesh with hundreds of people after the show, which really gets old, or you can come off stage, get into the car, and go straight out the back and away, back to the hotel.

I don't have a great nostalgia for the past.

The most obvious thing you can't do with a guitar synthesizer is to really sound like a guitar.

I actually think I play better now than Ive ever played.

You don't want to be so far off the planet that you come out with something that doesn't make sense to anybody.
