I can listen to all different sorts of music. I don't really care about The Next Big Thing.

There's too many good musicians around for the music around for the business to be sagging.

You can't just find yourself doing something and not happy doing it.

When you hear the melodic structures of what classical musicians put together and you compare it to that of a rock & roll record, there's a hell of a long way rock & roll has to go.

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.
