It's probably listening to country music that got me to start playing a lot cleaner, not as distorted.

I love Indian food - it's my favourite cuisine. I love the mixture of spices and the subtle flavours. It's really erotic; the spices are so sensuous.

I'm glad that I never ended up killing myself, though I came close more times than I would like to admit.

Aerosmith is such a powerful band; I mean, it's like a steam locomotive.

The great British blues guitarists of the Sixties - people like Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page and Peter Green - could play like virtuosos, but they also understood the importance of energy and intensity

Hopefully I'm bringing to rock n' roll the kind of spontaneity that I love, and always believed rock and roll stands for.

Take life on life's terms - one day at a time. And have fun while you're doing it.
