I never advise anyone to sacrifice something else because of music, but then I don't see why they would have to anyway.

I had to learn chord shapes... I bought books with chord charts. I used to listen to all kinds of pop music.

The Stones are a different kind of group. I realized that when I joined them. It's not really so much their musical ability, it's just they have a certain kind of style and attitude which is unique

It's frustrating actually, the time involved in getting something released these days. My new CD has actually been finished for a year. It's only now that it's being released

I was very influenced by Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix. ...both of whom I had the pleasure of playing with and becoming friends with.

I've written lots of songs on the piano. My mother had a piano and it was the first instrument I played

It's not rubbish to say that I was a bit peeved about not getting credit for a couple of songs, but that wasn't the whole reason. I guess I just felt like I had enough. I decided to leave and start a group with Jack Bruce
