I've never had any religion. I'd prefer it if I did, really. Even as a boy I just couldn't make myself believe.

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

No one can replace Richard Wright. He was my musical partner and my friend.

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 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.

Jimi Hendrix isn't as good as me!

I'm English and I am British. I don't know if I feel part of a music scene. Musically, I have as many feelings and affinity with Americans or Canadians, or all sorts of people as I do with English people.
