I feel I've been blessed with a gift of creativity and composition. That's why I've been able to keep going.

I go through about two Fender mediums a night because I don't pick straight down; it's sort of sideways, and it shaves them off.

I didn't sit down and work out other people's material; I've never believed in that.

During my early period I had custom-made overdrive stuff because I didn't like what they were making at the time.

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

People often say very, very nice, complimentary things. But I think it's better if you don't take that too much to heart.

The BBC, during its 24 hours on the air, plays a very wide range of stuff. And it's not commercial.
