I'm able to actually choose places to go which have intrigued me for the last god knows how many years, and Tasmania's always been one of those places.

Lately, I'm spending more and more time working with non-rock musicians and leaving the mainstream - almost dissolving into another world, musically.

The events between 1968 and 1980 were the kind of cornerstone for everything I've been able to do, they gave me the springboard.

The idea of actually taking sharp turns left and right has always intrigued me, but I've never really been bold enough to do that. As musicians go, I've allowed myself to be carried by other people's enthusiasm into places where I've learned a lot. There is no real tumult anymore. What I want to do, I do! I'm pretty fortunate.

I like the idea of being alone. I like the idea of often being alone in all aspects of my life. I like to feel lonely. I like to need things.

Led Zeppelin was a very sensitive and beautiful animal beast.

Being good isn't just about being dextrous and being flash. Being good is about being an all-round contributor in the great world of music.
