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

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!'

From my personal point of view, the Animals are dead. They killed themselves.

In a nut shell, air travel is the worst part about touring.

Recording - once something's done, it's done, there's not much you can do about it. It's out there and you just have to pray to the gods.

OK, I've had a life of sort of success, some people know who I am but a lot of people don't. I feel the need to change that still.

I have a life beyond performance. I love it, and it probably is the better part of my life, but I do have another life.
