I spent 20 years of my life building up Queen, and now Im spending years of my life trying to get away from it.

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

I just want to be able to play as fast as my brain goes, and my brain doesn't go all that fast.

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.

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

I had this idea... I wanted the sound to sing and have that thickness but yet still have an edge so that it could articulate. So my dad and I designed the guitar... the one that was made from an old fireplace.

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