The chemistry was still there. To me, that was the biggest thing: Would the chemistry be there? Can we really go ahead and do this? And it was obvious within the first moment of plugging in the instruments that the magic was still there. It was a fantastic feeling.

Some of the best songs I've written, I've written in 10 minutes.

I still like to play the blues more than anything else.

I find it hard to get excited by just a sound. I have to have a song there, then I'll find what used I can make of that sound within the song.

My songs are self-explanatory... somebody pointed out to me that... my songs pretty much speak for themselves.

I haven't turned into some rich monster. I've kept my perspective. But I am a bit spoiled. It's hard not to be a little spoiled by having a lot of money.

You can only mend the vase so many times before you have to chuck it away.
