My responsibility is to fulfil what that natural thing is. The thing that I dislike about pop rock Top 40 music is that it's not natural.

It's all complete instinct and intuition, and that's extremely difficult to teach.

It was really strange for me when I started to play concerts in America where the audiences were all sitting down.

I wrote a couple of songs that had gypsy references in them. The only reason it happened was because that's what was coming through and I liked the idea at that period of time. But that doesn't mean that it's a myth or that I'm a gypsy. It's gotten totally out of context.

My ambition when I started out was to play two or three gigs a week. And that's what I'm doing.

If you never hear from me that just means I would rather not.

You have to understand a bit about the poetry of the blues to know where the references are coming from.
