You gotta fight every day to keep mediocrity at bay.

You can't stop us on the road to freedom, you can't stop us cause our eyes can see.

If I ventured in the slipstream between the viaducts of your dreams, where immobile steel rims crack and the ditch in the back roads stop. Could you find me?

I deliberately try not to cater for the commercial market, so I can't see myself in competition, you know, with second or third generation rock stars.

Definitely Muddy Waters has been a prime influence for anybody who's ever done anything rock 'n' roll.

The fact I wasn't getting off made me realize that I really had to take a hard look at it and at the type of music that I played, which ranges from ballads to country type stuff to rock and rhythm 'n' blues. It takes in a wider spectrum.
