I do not worship the devil. But magic does intrigue me. Magic of all kinds. I bought Crowley's house to go up and write in. The thing is, I just never get up that way. Friends live there now.

I don't feel I have to top myself at all.

I guess the solo from 'Achilles Last Stand' is in the same tradition as the solo from 'Stairway to Heaven'...it is on that level to me.

There's too many good musicians around for the music around for the business to be sagging.

The greatest satisfaction is not the decoration. It is knowing that I am able to help someone who needs help.

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.

This week, I'm a gypsy. Maybe next week it'll be glitter rock.
