Even when I was very depressed, I could hold on to something. It seems that I have always had that streak of gold that I could hold on to.

Phil has always been a fighter. He was getting in fights all the time. I told him that if he ever hit me then I would leave the band. He wanted to find out if I was telling him the truth. He hit me so I left and that is how UFO split up.

I view life as a learning experience. It is not so much all about music; it is about what happens when you are doing the music.

It would be a dream come true if I could just go from studio to studio and play solos.

If you copy then it is not self-expression.

I have made stage adjustments which allow me to hear myself better onstage so that has made playing live much more enjoyable.

I have always known that it comes from deep within myself. I always knew what sound I wanted, and how I wanted to play. I knew everything, it just had to be developed.
