I think it's time to travel, start gathering some real right-in-there experiences with street musicians around the world.

The idea of a hypnotic riff as the prime mover of a piece of music has been around for a long time, whether you're talking about the Delta blues or music from Middle Eastern and African cultures.

I had another idea of getting a traveling medicine wagon with a dropdown side and traveling around England. That might sound crazy to you, but over there it's so rural you can do it. Just drop down the side and play through big battery amps and mixers and it can all be as temporary or as permanent as I want it to be.

I may not believe in myself, but I believe in what I'm doing.

There's such a wealth of arts and styles within the guitar... flamenco, jazz, rock, blues... you name it, it's there. In the early days my dream was to fuse all those styles. Now composing has become just as important.

I'm not afraid of death. That is the greatest mystery of all. That'll be it, that one. But it is all a race against time.

I can only listen to what I'm working on, at the time. I can't listen to anything else because I don't want to copy it.

I guess the solo from 'Achilles Last Stand' is in the same tradition as the solo from 'Stairway to Heaven'...it is on that level to me.

I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.

My guitar style was developed during that 10-year period. That's me. That's the way I play, and I don't wish to play any other way. Our own individual identities are firmly stamped on this album.

I don't know whether I'll reach 40. I don't know whether I'll reach 35. I can't be sure about that. I am bloody serious. I am very, very serious. I didn't think I'd make 30.

I'm still searching for an angel with a broken wing. It's not very easy to find them these days.

Once I got a guitar that was relatively user-friendly, but not super-duper easy, I really came on as a guitarist, at that point. It helped. It was a super-expensive guitar either, but something needs to steer you a bit, if you're playing an instrument that is really hard.

Crowley didn't have a very high opinion of women, and I don't think he was wrong.

You don't find geniuses in street musicians, but that doesn't mean to say you can't be really good.

If you're working at the factory and you're cursing every day that you get up, at all costs get out of it. You'll just make yourself ill.

Actually, I'm getting one made up with eight necks and I'm going to get a wheelwright to make a big rim around it and then I can do cartwheels off the stage.
