A certain death of an artist is overconfidence.

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

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 can't imagine ever going back to working with somebody else.

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.

I've got very strong hands from playing for many years.

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