Music has nothing to do with your technical ability.

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

There's more power in the simpler things, I think.

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.

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

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

It all comes down to the density of the wood. Every guitar's different.
