When I Was 20, I Didn't Give

I Don't Put Myself On Jeff Beck's Level, But I Can Relate To Him When He Says He'd Rather Be Working On His Car Collection Than Playing The Guitar.

The Only Way You Can Get Good, Unless You're A Genius, Is To Copy. That's The Best Thing. Just Steal.

I Was Impressed By Hendrix. Not So Much By His Playing, As His Attitude - He Wasn't A Great Player, But Everything Else About Him Was Brilliant.

I Don't Play By Those Rules; I'm My Own Worst Enemy Sometimes. There's Something In Me That Has To Go Against The Grain. You Know, I Don't Like To Be A Dead Fish, Swimming With All The Other Dead Fish, I Like To Go Upstream Sometimes, Against The Flow.

Most Guitar Players Get A Name Because The Band That They're In Has Become Popular. That Doesn't Mean That They're Particularly Good, Whereas Conversely, You've Got People Like Albert Lee, An Incredible Player, One Of My Favourites Who's Not In A Famous Band, So He Doesn't Get Into The Popularity Polls. I Have To Laugh At Some Of The People That Do Get Into The Popularity Polls - Some Of Them Are So Bad, But They're In A Band That's At The Top Of The Hit Parade. I Think People Mix That Up.
