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.

I know what I want to get down and I haven't got much time to do it in.

It's interesting when something new comes along, a band of dwarfs playing electronic harps or something, but I'm not searching.

You absorb so much from whatever your environment is, as an artist, and you learn to take from it what can help you create.

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

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 really wasn't needed... Just straightening up riffs, that's all. Just two guitarists doing it instead of one.
