I don't tend to have a favorite album; I tend to have favorite tracks. There are flaws in every album that spoil it for me.

It all comes down to the density of the wood. Every guitar's different.

Oddly enough, Hendrix is not my favorite guitar player. There are very few guitar players I get feeling from.

Once you start copying other people's licks, you begin thinking they're yours. Doing that's just an easy way out.

I feel I've been blessed with a gift of creativity and composition. That's why I've been able to keep going.

While I was with Procol Harum, the only time I'd see my guitar was either when I walked onstage or in the studio.

I think it's a sensible thing not to read your fan mail - not to take it too seriously.
