I was in George Martin's studio in Amsterdam and he was telling me, 'They come in here and it takes them three days to do a bass line.' Well I'm not from that era.

I never studied anything, really. I didn't study the drums. I joined bands and made all the mistakes onstage.

Ten years from now, it'll all be the blues because that's the only speed I'll be able to play

Believe me, I wish this song was yours instead of mine.

Gene Autry was the most. It may sound like a joke - Go and have a look in my bedroom, It's covered with Gene Autry posters. He was my first musical influence.

I mean, women are very important to me. I don't know, they just drive me crazy.

Of course I'm ambitious. What's wrong with that? Otherwise you sleep all day.
