I don't like to tell people what format they can get things in, or say, "I'm only going to release this on vinyl and nothing else. You have to come to my world." I don't like to say that to people either. But, I do think there's a loss of romance.

I'm not interested in turning anybody on to anybody that I'm turned on to... if people want to find things, they find them themselves.

You know what you can gain when you sit down with the Moroccans. As a person and as a musician. That's how you grow.

There's always music that moves me. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's within the parenthesis of rock or blues, or whatever. It's usually far more reaching than that. It can be in many different genres.

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

I deal in emotions. It's the harmonic side that's important. That's the side I expected to be much further along on than I am now. That just means to say that I've got to keep at it.

I can only listen to what I'm working on, at the time. I can't listen to anything else because I don't want to copy it.
