The song Venus de Milo, the whole subject of it is Love is a drug.

I really don't have that much interest in stardom.

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

I grew up taking piano lessons and liking Wagner when I was in second grade.

Places like Belgium and the south of France, Sweden and Copenhagen are really alive. They really love rock 'n' roll, they really respond.

I've seen a lot of people getting into Jazzmasters because of me, and, well, people don't know what they're in for. I mean if you're looking for endless sustain, you're going to have to get it out of your hands (laughs). Because a saxophonist gets it out of his breath. You've got to work for it on the guitar - it means you have to pull it out of yourself, otherwise, what are you doing? You end up playing a lot of noise or scale exercises.

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