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

The music scene as I look at it today is a little different from when I was growing up. The percentages are roughly the same - 95 percent rubbish, 5 percent pure.

I never met Johnny Rotten, and I didn't want to meet Johnny Rotten.

The blues are what I've turned to, what has given me inspiration and relief in all the trials of my life.

'My Father's Eyes' is very personal. I realized that the closest I ever came to looking in my father's eyes was when I looked into my son's eyes.

I tried when I was 13, when my grandparents gave me an acoustic guitar, and I tried for a year. It hurt so much to play. I mean, the fingertips hurt so much, I gave up.

There's a desire in me to express something - to match what I hear in my head.
