Once I get onstage the tension explodes and I'm fine. I'm in another world - in a trance almost, doing what I love best, expressing myself through guitar.

If you wanted to chart new territories and head off over the horizon, you had to make sure you weren't overly influenced by what others were doing ... so it didn't matter what other bands were doing ... we did what we were doing.

You can't overthink the music. Mood and intensity can't be manufactured. The blues isn't about structure it's what you bring to it. The spontaneity of capturing a speciļ¬c moment is what drives it.

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.

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

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

There's so much that can be done on the guitar. And that's what is so good about the guitar - everyone can really enjoy themselves on it and have a good time, which is what it's all about.

There's a certain standard in classical music that allows the application of the term genius, but you're treading on thin ice if you start applying it to rock & rollers.

I don't go walking into things blind.

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.

But to put out a greatest hits on one CD was totally impossible, I just couldn't do it. The best compromise was to put out two CDs - Early Days - which is what it is - and Latter Days.

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

It's interesting when something new comes along, a band of dwarfs playing electronic harps or something, but I'm not searching.
