I use a combination of all my influences on my albums.

I have done some things that I'm very proud of. I don't think you can say any more than that, really.

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

A wah-wah is important as well. I love it; it makes the guitar scream.

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

I will obviously take on board everything from my past, I always do.

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