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

Doing Made In Heaven was like assembling a jigsaw puzzle, but I wouldn't have put my seal of approval on it if I hadn't thought it was up to standard.

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.

To my mind Keep Yourself Alive was never really satisfactory. Never had that magic that it should have had.

Everybody thought I was a bit of an eccentric for wanting to be out there looking at the stars, but I still do

I tend not to write on guitar very often. I tend to start off with keyboards.

Not for a million - years. I mean, I like the INXS boys, but I found the process very degrading, really. Reality television has eaten away at our standards of excellence. I don't like this whole culture, which has evolved, of TV being the king.
