If I hadn't been living here [in America], do you think we would have gotten a Grammy? No chance.

People changing because they think they should is not a good idea, because I just don't think they should, really.

Eric Clapton wrote "Layla" when he was coked out of his mind. Later on, it nearly killed him.

We never played China, India or Africa. We also haven't played Russia enough. I would love to play those places.

We never nicked stuff from other bands because that was a no-no because we were all in the same boat. You don't steal from the poor because, let's face it, they're poor. There's no sense in that.

We were nominated [for Grammy] once before for our album 1916. We were up against Metallica at the time and they had just sold a quarter of a zillion albums.

Every generation thinks they are stronger than the generation before it. They think, "It can't happen to me." In the past people have died making that same mistake.
