I know where I'm going musically. I can see my pattern and I'm going much slower than I thought I'd be going.

That's the music that I play at home all the time, Joni Mitchell. Court and Spark I love because I'd always hoped that she'd work with a band. But the main thing with Joni is that she's able to look at something that's happened to her, draw back and crystallize the whole situation, then write about it. She brings tears to my eyes, what more can I say? It's bloody eerie. I can relate so much to what she says. "Now old friends are acting strange/They shake their heads/They say I've changed."

Domesticity and all that isn't really for me.

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.

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.

I can communicate far better on a guitar than I can through my mouth.
