I don't deal in technique. I deal in emotions.

I don't go walking into things blind.

No. I usually rest in my satin-lined coffin, actually. I'm not allowed out in daylight hours.

My finger picking is sort of a cross between Pete Seeger, Earl Scruggs, and total incompetence.

When I went over to the States to promote Outrider, everyone was telling me I was a blues guitarist. I'm not a bloody blues guitarist. I'm a guitarist.

Every record is a portrait of the band at that time.

But to put out a greatest hits on one CD was totally impossible, I just couldn't do it. The best compromise was to put out two CDs - Early Days - which is what it is - and Latter Days.
