I wish I could write easily. I'm one of those guys who's visited by the muse when things are dire.

You were at school and you were pimply and no one wanted to know you. You get into a group and you've got thousands of chicks there.

The point of being at home is to be with my family as much as possible.

I couldn't believe how good Jimi Hendrix was It was a really difficult thing for me to deal with, but I just had to surrender and say, 'This is fantastic.'

The toughest thing about being a celebrity, I suppose, is being polite when I don't want to be.

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 thought, 'My God, this is like Buddy Guy on acid.'
