One of the most beneficial things I've ever learned is how to keep my mouth shut.

When I'm wrong it's never meant for you, so don't confuse my love with what I do.

When I was in Nashville, Tennessee in 1970 with Derek and the Dominoes, I went into this shop and they had a rack of Strats and Teles - all going for $100.00 each. I bought a handfull and made Blackie out of the body from one, the neck from another, and so on

Like a fool, I fell in love with you, Turned my whole world upside down

It is painful to relive things that have caused emotional crises or whatever and find ways to express that musically.

They looked great, you know the drawings of the guys playing looked great and bits of string around their necks. So it didn't seem to be that difficult a thing to do, or that inaccessible.

Well, I think part of my gift, or if I have one, is that I love listening.
