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 was an experience being on a Beatles tour. They weren't very good. The singing was great, but the playing was a bit weak.

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

The States still has the best audiences by far.

I was very keen on people like Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Gene Vincent.

If you feel people getting on about what you are doing, it gives you a lift.

I've got very strong hands from playing for many years.
