I didn't want to get attached to one guitar; I didn't want to have an instrument that was irreplaceable.

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

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

It gives me a good feeling to know that people out there really care.

The guitar part is the pivot of everything we do, so if you change the guitar part you no longer have what it is.

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

There are no plans to do any more live stuff. I really feel like there's enough live shows out there.
