I've got a great dislike of reunions. It's a little like trying to go back and relive the best parts of your life, but you can't do it. Nothing is ever the same.

There are so many times in one's life, when one feels he has nothing more to offer. But no, my river has not run dry.

Have you seen 'American Idol' lately? I'm sure that some kids somewhere at this moment are thrashing themselves silly over what they call 'Rock n' Roll.

I look upon The Animals, they were a great band initially, we left our mark, but thing was it was a band that couldn't live up to its name so I soldiered on. On one level, it was devastating for a while. On another level, maybe I should thank them for helping me make my own way in my own career.

Blues was made for the recessed.

It's more important what you leave to people on this planet. I want my legacy to exist now, currently, not after I'm gone.

It's the need for change that drives us to join forces with our brothers and sisters all around the world - but change is slow.
