I can't say I feel influenced by today's guitar players.

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's impossible to play a run with as much feeling as a single note. I've never been so much into runs as making single notes cry.

To me there's a definite way of doing a song. If I didn't think that, I wouldn't have done it that way in the first place.

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.

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

My songs are more arrangements than they are songs.
