Once in a blue moon someone like you comes along.

A famous person to themselves, they don't get up in the morning and think, I'm famous. I'm not famous to me. Famous is a perception.

I'd come to the point where I wasn't really putting out creatively. I didn't seem to have anything to say in that period of time after the '74 tour. There was nothing definite that I wanted to record.

When I started you were more in touch with the people you were playing to. There wasn't the distance or the separation that there is now.

I think that there are quite a few acts which have stayed with the basic feelings and that's good. And I see something of a swing back to that. For example there are quite a few people copying my early stuff now. Like it's become a reference point or something.

There is no black-and-white situation. It's all part of life. Highs, lows, middles.

Smell the sea and feel the sky.
