I'm just looking for an angel with a broken wing.

The element of change has been the thing, really. We put out the first one, then the second... then a third LP totally different from them. It's the reason we were able to keep it together.

Every musician wants to do something which will hold up for a long time, and I guess we did it with 'Stairway to Heaven.'

The guitar to me, from the classical/gut-string guitar right through to Hendrix, et cetera, has all the range [of sound]. Within those six strings it is incredible what one can get sound-wise. It's just down to imagination, really.

I deal in emotions. It's the harmonic side that's important. That's the side I expected to be much further along on than I am now. That just means to say that I've got to keep at it.

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

All my houses are isolated. Many is the time I just stay home alone.
