I'm not a guitarist as far as a technician goes, I just pick it up and play it. Technique doesn't come into it.

I'm very fortunate because I love what I'm doing.

The beauty of the band was you never knew what was going to come out next.

The element of change has been the thing, really. We put out the first one, then the second... then a third LP totally different from them. It's the reason we were able to keep it together.

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

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.

There's music that can affect people in their lives, and they will always relate to the point that they heard it and experienced it, either if you're playing it or you're receptive, as an audience.

I'm at my best when I'm exhausted and under pressure.

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