I've been scared and I've liked not hanging on to stuff where I know that I'm in my comfort zone.

My sort of stability as a character, it's never been one of my strongest attributes. I'm a bit of a clusterf*ck. I get so many great ideas that I kind of mesmerize people with another plan before the previous plan is hatched out.

Page and I get offered everything: women, little boys, cocaine, the lot, to just go back and do that again. I don't think it would be a good idea at all. [But] I reserve judgment to change my mind in five years' time.

Soon, I'm going to need help crossing the street.

Since I was a kid, I've had an absolute obsession with particular kinds of American music. Mississippi Delta blues of the Thirties, Chicago blues of the Fifties, West Coast music of the mid-Sixties - but I'd never really touched on dark Americana.

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 won't do a reunion tour unless my solo career fails miserably.
