There's no man alive who has any answers. We all know that. It's like the guru trip. All a guru can do is direct you to something that you probably already know about yourself, something you might want to followup on. Apply the same thing to music and records. You might get something from a particular record that hits a nerve and something inside you. But that's your vision of it.

If you're putting somebody down, you're doing it because you're just seeing a part of yourself that you don't like. That's all that is.

Britain is not the same anymore of course. It's never the same.

Music is spiritual. The music business is not.

What excited me when I first came into it was the performing aspect and doing blues-oriented material, rock/blues oriented stuff, basic stuff, basic what they call rock 'n' roll.

I realized that what I was looking for was doing collaborations with other people - people who can play a ballad, rock, jazz. I was looking for more co-op type things than what I had been doing, which had been completely my own trip.

I don't like to condemn people because what that means is that you're only condemning yourself about a part of you that you can't stand.
