I have no idea what the audience makes of me.

The only new technology that interests me is when it sort of throws me back soundwise. And I can think, "Wow, that means I can go onstage and sound like Scotty Moore now and again!"

To me, it's important to prove that this isn't just teenage kids' s**t and you should feel embarrassed when you're over forty and still doing it.

When you're 20, you can't imagine being 30. When you're 30, you can't imagine being 40. When you're 40, you can't imagine being 100.

Some people think I'm a mythical genius, others think I'm a junkie madman.

Everything they’d been brought up not to do, they could do at a rock-and-roll show.

Retire? I can't spell the word. I'd play in a wheelchair.
