Oddly enough, Hendrix is not my favorite guitar player. There are very few guitar players I get feeling from.
I think it's a sensible thing not to read your fan mail - not to take it too seriously.
I can't say I feel influenced by today's guitar players.
My energy flagged because of heavy cold but the guys took up the slack.
I didn't sit down and work out other people's material; I've never believed in that.
Once I've settled on something I'll stay with that at least throughout the whole tour.
