I'm not a guitarist as far as a technician goes, I just pick it up and play it. Technique doesn't come into it.

I love playing. If it was down to just that, it would be utopia.

Sometimes, I must admit, I'd like to have a second guitarist onstage with me, but it wouldn't look right. I'd like to play for another 20 years, but I don't know... I just can't see it happening. I don't know why. It's a certain foreboding... a funny feeling... vultures.

I have a voracious appetite for all things, worldly and unworldly.

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.

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

A lot of people can't be on their own. They get frightened. Isolation doesn't bother me at all. It gives me a sense of security.
