I still love playing music. It was all I ever wanted to do, and I got the chance to do it.

I wanted to make a record that sounded like a continous piece

I never get too many problems. You can never please everyone anyway, obviously. And some people take the easy route and just play the greatest hits, and their audience is happy to hear that as well, and that's fine, but it wouldn't please me. But it doesn't trouble me.

You can listen to music at any moment in the day or night. Which is great, but I think it kind of devalues it as well.

When I discovered blues - I was 12-years-old - I didn't discover it in America where it was from; I discovered it from Fleetwood Mac - the original Peter Green Fleetwood Mac, Saveloy Brown - like British blues interpretations of it,' which then, when I started the liner notes and seeing all these names, I was like, 'Who's Willie Dixon?' Then I go to the record store and ask the guy there and he goes, 'Oh, you don't know anything.' And so, to me, that's the root of most of it anyway.

People say that if you're still angry at 52, you're not an angry young man, just a grumpy old git.

The Beatles changed the world. They certainly changed my world, and many, many other individuals as well.
