Actually, I think my hands are in the best shape they've ever been in terms of what I can do.

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

I was totally into jazz in my teens.

More recently, I used guitar synthesizer extensively on the two albums I did with Robert Fripp.

Usually, the best thing is when the band goes to the bar and gets the corner table, we sit there like kings, and then they bring people to us. It's just rock 'n' roll. It's stupid, really.

It's exciting to see if you can create something that sounds, at least to your own ears, exciting.

For me, a great show is when there's a great rapport with the band and the audience, and we're all really into it. The first trick is to bring the audience into the band, break the ice, have a life, and be one, so you can enjoy the next hour and a half together.
