My mother was an amateur singer, my father was an amateur drunk.

In the early days, you would get skinheads, the Eagles and Black Sabbath playing the same show.

Pink Floyd was music for rich college kids, and we were the exact f**king opposite of that.

It was such an amazing time for music in the Sixties. When popular music hit me, it was like magic was in the air.

I've listened to Preachers, I've listened to fools. I've worshipped the dropouts, who've made their own rules.

Chocolate thickens the saliva, which isn't good news if you've gotta recite Shakespeare or sing Iron Man. Having said that, you're not supposed to drink tea either but I still do before gigs. It's not very rock and roll, but it's like a magic potion to me.

I think if a man can create something like an atom bomb, he can surely create something with his own mind.
