When I listen to what I did under the influence - 10 years of work - I don't think it either enhanced or impaired me. It didn't have that much to do with it.

What's the big deal about still working? Retirement age is sixty-five, and that's at a normal job - and I ain't there yet.

Yes, I've been trepanned. That's quite an interesting experience, especially for my brain surgeon, who saw my thoughts flying around in my brain.

I was number 1 on the who's likely to die list for 10 years...I was really disappointed when I fell off that list.

Everybody's got a different way of telling a story - and has different stories to tell.

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!"

I've got nothing against daylight. I don't live totally nocturnally. Only when I feel like it. Which is most of the time.
