Music will always find its way to us, with or without business, politics, religion, or any other bullshit attached.

I'm an egomaniac with an inferiority complex.

The Yardbirds came in to the Crawdaddy Club a week after the Stones finished their Sunday night residency. They had done it for almost a year, I think, and then we did it for a year. It was better when they were playing there because when they went they took half the crowd with them and it took us quite a while to build up our own following.

It's been very important throughout my career that I've met all the guys I've copied, because at each stage they've said, 'Don't play like me, play like you.'

I just like the company of beautiful women. I have a weakness in that department.

All along this path I tread, my heart betrays my weary head, with nothing but my love to save, from the cradle to the grave.

I'd love to knock an audience cold with one note, but what do you do for the rest of the evening?
