The ability to make music is a gift that you're born with; it's not something you can learn.

I was very keen on people like Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Gene Vincent.

I think the fundamental part of my technique is my vibrato.

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

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

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

My songs are more arrangements than they are songs.
