I'm still searching for an angel with a broken wing. It's not very easy to find them these days.
You get as much out of rock & roll artistically as you put into it. There's nobody who can teach you. You're on your own and that's what I find so fascinating about it.
The way I see it, rock & roll is folk music. Street music. It isn't taught in school. It has to be picked up.
You don't find geniuses in street musicians, but that doesn't mean to say you can't be really good.
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.
When you hear the melodic structures of what classical musicians put together and you compare it to that of a rock & roll record, there's a hell of a long way rock & roll has to go.
The term "genius" gets used far too loosely in rock & roll.
The only term I won't accept is "genius."
There are very few people I can call real, close friends. They're very, very precious to me.
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.

All my houses are isolated. Many is the time I just stay home alone.
I don't go walking into things blind.
I'm attracted by the unknown, but I take precautions.
I've never regretted anything I've ever done.
I remember one particular occasion when I hadn't played a solo for, quite literally, a couple of months. And I was asked to play a solo on a rock & roll thing. I played it and felt that what I'd done was absolute crap. I was so disgusted with myself that I made my mind up that I had to get out of it. It was messing me right up.
When I started doing sessions, the guitar was in vogue. I was playing solos every day.
Seeing people's faces, really getting off on them, makes me incredibly happy. Genuinely.
I'm very fortunate because I love what I'm doing.
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.
