I'm still basically the same as I always was. I still listen to the same people. That's where I'm coming from.

Any artist is an instrument-and that's exactly why you can't do it all the time. You can only do it when it's happening, when it's coming through. No matter how much you may want to do it, if it's not happening then it's simply not happening.

[Jean-Paul] Sartre was a throwback to the existential period. I'm not really so much into that these days. I went through a period of going over things and looking at them again to see what they were. But I'm into psychiatry type things. I'm into philosophy. I'm into that sort of thing.

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

As a developing musician, skiffle became a platform for me to start playing music.
