I will obviously take on board everything from my past, I always do.

I wouldn't count myself as being a true blues guitarist because I feel you have to live it.

If all you've got is somebody else's stuff that you've lifted, nothing really deep, then it is going to thin out.

I have done some things that I'm very proud of. I don't think you can say any more than that, really.

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

People often say very, very nice, complimentary things. But I think it's better if you don't take that too much to heart.

The ability to make music is a gift that you're born with; it's not something you can learn.
