We do play to our audience. It's very important. You can't create music in a vacuum.

I'm the nice guy who sits there signing everything that's put in front of me.

Sometimes if the guitar is the last thing to go on, it's very fresh.

When we were touring heavily in America, we based ourselves there for a couple of years, but now we're all back here and it seems to be the place.

Every time I listen to Jeff Beck my whole view of guitar changes radically. He's way, way out, doing things you never expect.

If I go to places where other people are playing, I often get up and play myself. I just enjoy the sound and feel of playing.

There is no way that you can ever really repeat something. I have this great belief that the magic of the moment can never be recaptured.
