Subconsciously you just pick up things into your sort of musical vocabulary and use them.

I think myself that, rather like books, music is meant to enter into the brain, well via your ears rather than your eyes but, it's - I think a lot more should be left to the imagination.

Little ideas can pop into one's head at any time, and if I'm being reasonably efficient I've got it close enough to hand, then I pop that little tiny moment of a few seconds down onto a tape and then I can forget about it for... years sometimes.

I don't even think whether I play the blues or not, I just play whatever feels right at the moment. I also will use any gadget or device that I find that helps me achieve the sort of sound on the guitar that I want to get.

I listen to classical music at home probably more than pop music.

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

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