Once I've settled on something I'll stay with that at least throughout the whole tour.

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.

If you want to do rock and roll, forget about those who've come after '65.

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

The first real thing I heard was Three O'Clock Blues by B.B. King. That's where it all began for me.

A wah-wah is important as well. I love it; it makes the guitar scream.
