I’m pretty optimistic about the future of rock… it will be back to composition as in classical music or jazz.

I always felt if we were going in to do an album, there should already be a lot of structure already made up so we could get on with that and see what else happened.

If you are on to something creative, school can also inhibit you. The wrong teacher, man, can really mess you up.

Music can always be a life-changing experience, for musicians and fans, or at least life-affecting, but it depends on to what degree.

There is far more sensitivity in acoustic guitar players than could ever be compared to any synthesizer. That’s a personal point of view but that’s the way I see it. I think that’s what it’s all about. The drive, the fire, the passion – it all comes out on the guitar.

I believe every guitar player inherently has something unique about their playing. They just have to identify what makes them different and develop it.

Sometimes, I must admit, I’d like to have a second guitarist onstage with me, but it wouldn’t look right. I’d like to play for another 20 years, but I don’t know. I just can’t see it happening. I don’t know why. It’s a certain foreboding. A funny feeling. Vultures.

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 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.
