Each album comes from definitely a different period in the evolution of each of us individually as creators and the role that we take in life. The external stimuli changed... so the songs are full of lots of different meanings.

Music means communication to me. I say 'listen you people out there, listen to my music, let's be one.' Music is a friend to me when I am lonely, when I am blue. You can't define music 'cause music is cosmos and it knows no barrier or definition. You have to feel music to dig it.

I don't want to scream 'Immigrant Song' every night for the rest of my life, and I'm not sure I could.

The trouble is now, with rock'n'roll and stuff, it gets so big that it loses what once upon a time was a magnificent thing, where it was special and quite elusive and occasionally a little sinister and it had its own world nobody could get in.

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.

I live with the people I've always lived with. I'm quite content.

People say that I'm a millionaire, but that's not true - I only spend millions.
