What I wanted to do was play the guitar but I don't like instrumental rock. I think it is tripe.

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.

There was a period when I'd just come out of college where I'd been playing classical guitar and I suddenly realised that it wasn't what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.

Start with the titles, and then build the music that goes with them.

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

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

For me, the guitar synthesizer is a great writing instrument.
