I don't think Jimi committed suicide in the conventional way. He just decided to exit when he wanted to.

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.

I'm not bitter, I'm bittersweet.

Well, it seems that one day Dylan was drivin' up to San Francisco from New Orleans or somewhere, when our record [House of the Rising Sun] came over his radio. When it was announced he said to Joan Baez -- who was with him at the time -- 'This'll be the first time I've heard this version', although it was number one in the States. So he listened to it, stopped the car, ran round the car five times, banged his head on the bumper and began leapin' about shouting 'It's great! It's great!'

Eventually I would like to reach the stage where I don't have to write about love and kisses and all that stuff. I wish I could write about really ultimate things. That's where I think all of us want to go, really. All the groups seem to be heading towards a kind of pop music that deals with ultimate things.

The basis of everything that I plugged into when I was younger was blues, and it always stayed with me.
