The only term I won't accept is "genius."

My guitar style was developed during that 10-year period. That's me. That's the way I play, and I don't wish to play any other way. Our own individual identities are firmly stamped on this album.

If you wanted to chart new territories and head off over the horizon, you had to make sure you weren't overly influenced by what others were doing ... so it didn't matter what other bands were doing ... we did what we were doing.

I think it was that we were really seasoned musicians. We had serious roots that spanned different cultures, obviously the blues.

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

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

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