The gut-strung guitar, the classical guitar, that is a whole different world on its own. When you think what the guitar can do and what every individual player does with a guitar, everyone has their own identity coming through the guitar.

I can tell how far I ought to be going, I know how to get there, all I've got to do is keep playing.

Domesticity and all that isn't really for me.

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.

There are very few people I can call real, close friends. They're very, very precious to me.

I don't like being stuck in one situation, day to day.

I'm over 30 now, but I didn't expect to be here.
