...I think the popular view of Science is a solid body of truth, shared by a whole lot of learned men in a room, all agreeing on the answers to the questions of how the Universe works. Whereas nothing could be further from the truth!!! The one truth that I see emerging from the History of Science is that experiment has always surprised theorists. Einstein included!

I'm not a person for sitting on beaches. What would I do?

My children hate me being such a big star. It's very hard for them to have a father who is always in the public eye.

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

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