I can turn on some jazz guitarist, and he won't do a thing for me, if he's not playing electrically. But Jeff Beck's great to listen to.

Playing a Fender is an art itself. They're always going out of tune.

Pete Townshend used to crash chords and let the guitar feed back. He's overrated.

If a ballet dancer falls over, it's knowing how to get out looking clumsy that counts.

I however don't go to clubs to show off and to be seen, and certainly not to make statements. I just want to be able to quietly watch a band.

I was impressed by Hendrix. His attitude was brilliant. Even the way he walked was amazing.

When you're around someone good, your own standards are raised.
