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.

I don't feel I have to top myself at all.

I'm not afraid of death. That is the greatest mystery of all. That'll be it, that one. But it is all a race against time.

My vocation is more in composition really than anything else - building up harmonies using the guitar, orchestrating the guitar like an army, a guitar army.

When I went over to the States to promote Outrider, everyone was telling me I was a blues guitarist. I'm not a bloody blues guitarist. I'm a guitarist.

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.

The beauty of the band was you never knew what was going to come out next.
