For me, L.A. was, and is, a very creative place to be.

I think that... the age of just slapping songs into movies, that's done.

The Beatles had some juice when it came to distortion, but Clapton was finally able to break through those early studio engineers' fear of overloading. He defined the sound that guitarists spend the rest of their lives trying to get.

You don't throw clothes away, because you know it's going to come back in fashion!

I think people have to be more aware of what the repercussions are of their actions.

A band isn't a band unless they're playing together. Otherwise it's just five guys that are living off their royalty checks.

If you take your last album & try to copy it, then thats sure to hell the way to stagnation. And that makes me bored...and if I'm bored then the music is boring and so are the band!
