The gut-strung guitar, the classical guitar, that is a whole different world on its own. When you think what the guitar can do and what every individual player does with a guitar, everyone has their own identity coming through the guitar.

My favorite guitar solo of all time was Elliot Randall's on `Reelin' In The Years'.

I do not worship the devil. But magic does intrigue me. Magic of all kinds. I bought Crowley's house to go up and write in. The thing is, I just never get up that way. Friends live there now.

I'm attracted by the unknown, but I take precautions.

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.

Let me explain something about guitar playing. Everyone's got their own character, and that's the thing that's amazed me about guitar playing since the day I first picked it up. Everyone's approach to what can come out of six strings is different from another person, but it's all valid.

I don't like to tell people what format they can get things in, or say, I'm only going to release this on vinyl and nothing else. You have to come to my world. I don't like to say that to people either. But, I do think there's a loss of romance.

All my houses are isolated. Many is the time I just stay home alone.

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

You can't just find yourself doing something and not happy doing it.

Every musician wants to do something which will hold up for a long time, and I guess we did it with 'Stairway to Heaven.'

There's always music that moves me. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's within the parenthesis of rock or blues, or whatever. It's usually far more reaching than that. It can be in many different genres.

Domesticity and all that isn't really for me.

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

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.

No. I usually rest in my satin-lined coffin, actually. I'm not allowed out in daylight hours.

I'm not interested in turning anybody on to anybody that I'm turned on to... if people want to find things, they find them themselves.
