I like an element of chaos in music. That feeling is the best thing ever, as long as you don't have too much of it.

Nowadays music is as disposable as a McDonald's wrapper.

When Jazz broke through in England, I remember sneaking to listen on the radio much to my parent's disapproval.

I wanted to be in Rolling Stone number two with a tomorrow feel to it, like an experimental Rolling Stones with Jagger singing.

Some are skeptical. My mom thought the guitar was going to fizzle out in two weeks, that it was just a fad-and that was in 1958.

Things turn out better by accident sometimes. But you can't organize accidents.

... by far the most astonishing guitar player ever has got to be Django Reinhardt ... Django was quite superhuman, There's nothing normal about him as a person or a player.
