I just like the company of beautiful women. I have a weakness in that department. And I suppose because I am fairly well off and a famous musician, I'm up for grabs. And that makes me an eligible bachelor in the press.

I can't play long solos anymore without boring myself.

But the guitar, when you think about it, is the most versatile, really. I mean you can pick it up and take it with you wherever you go.

For me there is something primitively soothing about this music, and it went straight to my nervous system, making me feel ten feet tall.

One summer I remember, I got exposed to Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly and Buddy Holly was a very very big, made a very big impression on me. Because of a lot of things, you know, the way he looked and his charisma.

Loose ladies on the road will drive you crazy, every no, becomes a maybe.

I never set myself too high a goal. It was always tone and feeling, for me.
