I don't think Marquee Moon was so good, y'know? Just another record. First records everybody likes a lot.

I'm kind of proud of that little record! I mean I've heard about a million other records that have come out since then by all these groups around here and there and I really like 'Little Johnny Jewel'.

You can't get so interested in just making sounds. The point of it all is some kind of expression.

I don't think anybody thinks about their past much, unless they're in a mental institution.

The whole reputation of being a rock guitar player, I could really care less about it. Still, when I hear new groups today I do occasionally hear something where I think... ahh, I've heard that lick before.

It's like first grade where you make all your mistakes and people see it and yet some people see that there's something there that's really valuable. That's the way it went for more than 2 years almost 3 years of playing.

When I think of 'influence', I think of 'influenza', like somebody's picked up a germ.
