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

I don't even think whether I play the blues or not, I just play whatever feels right at the moment.

I've been in The Who, I've been in The Beatles and I've been in Pink Floyd! Top that!

If people would like to come to my concerts I'd love them to come. And if they like the music that I make, I love that too. But I do not make music for other people. I make it to please myself.

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.

I’m not interested in teaching books by women.

I think a lot of things do influence me, but the influence mechanism is as such that these things dive into your brain and bury themselves into your subconscious and you're never quite sure where and how they're going to emerge. I don't think I really take direct influence.
