I am a lover of all sorts of different music. I love blues and every piece of music that I have listened to has become an influence.

The music tends to be an expression of one's darker moments.

I haven't felt compelled to go back in the studio and do anything serious. I have a little sort of home studio thing which I potter about in occasionally.

I just play intuitively and work the same way in the studio. I don't have any magical effects or anything that helps me to get my particular sound.

It's crazy that America gives such a paltry percentage of its GNP to the starving nations.

Don't bait your breath. That's bad for your health.

I don't live my life on the road. I'm getting on a bit and there's a lot of other things in my life. Our lovely children and their lives. It's more of a part-time business these days.
