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

I can't say I feel influenced by today's guitar players.

Once I've settled on something I'll stay with that at least throughout the whole tour.

I feel that my playing on the first album was probably some of my best.

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

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

It gives me a good feeling to know that people out there really care.
