I'm very fortunate because I love what I'm doing.

I'm not interested in turning anybody on to anybody that I'm turned on to... if people want to find things, they find them themselves.

I do really believe that all guitarists have a different character that comes through, that's a strong character, the stronger the person is.

We were never a band that did 96 takes of the same thing. I had heard of groups that were into that kind of excess around that time. They'd work on the same track for three or four days and then work on it some more, but that's clearly not the way to record an album. If the track isn't happening and it creates some sort of psychological barrier, even after an hour or two, then you should stop and do something else. Go out: go to the pub, or a restaurant or something. Or play another song.

Music can always be a life-changing experience, for musicians and fans, or at least life-affecting, but it depends on to what degree.

I really don't like showing people how I play things; it's a little embarrassing because it always looks so simple to me.

I don't want to get too dippy about all this. If you take the view of the scientist and everything is in a state of vibration, then every note is a vibration, which has a certain frequency, and you know that if you put 40 beats into a frequency it's going to be the same note every time. You take that into infrasound and people can be made to be sick, actually killed. Taking it the other way, not to be too depressing, what about euphoria, etc., and what about consciousness being totally... no, I won't go into that one. Time warps.
