I know there will be no more tears in heaven.

An obsession is where something will not leave your mind.

There are people these days who can do things on the guitar which are beyond my reach. There's one guy who plays with Queen who can do things I would dream of doing. I sincerely mean that.

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.

And I don't like having my picture taken. I'm almost like an old African in that sense. I think it steals a bit of the soul.

I grew up playing in clubs - that's my spiritual stomping ground.

Music became a healer for me. And I learned to listen with all my being. I found that it could wipe away all fear and confusion.
