I can't imagine ever going back to working with somebody else.

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

During my early period I had custom-made overdrive stuff because I didn't like what they were making at the time.

My energy flagged because of heavy cold but the guys took up the slack.

I remember the snow in Canada and the lovely weather in New Zealand. And I slightly remember going to school there.

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

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.
