I despise the Lottery. There's less chance of you becoming a millionaire than there is of getting hit on the head by a passing asteroid.

The Wedding March has a bit of a death march in it.

There are times when I've been feeling something and played a solo that I've never been able to repeat.

I never took sheet music seriously. I could do better myself just by listening to other people and using my own intuition.

I'm pretty basic as far as technique is concerned. I don't use many gadgets, and I like the sound my guitar makes, anyway.

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.

George Harrison was a fabulous, fabulous, fabulous guitarist, and a wonderful example of what a rock star should be. I totally revered him as an innovator. He was always fresh, daring, magnificently melodic, full of spiritual quality, and totally conscious of the chord structure beneath the solo. And he had the courage to play simple. He never took refuge in effects, or tried to impress with speed. I hope he knew how much we all loved and respected him.
