I didn't want to get attached to one guitar; I didn't want to have an instrument that was irreplaceable.

A certain death of an artist is overconfidence.

The first real thing I heard was Three O'Clock Blues by B.B. King. That's where it all began for me.

I can't say I feel influenced by today's guitar players.

The strength of even the strongest individual can always be overpowered by the many, who often will combine for no other purpose than to ruin strength precisely because of its peculiar independence.

Situationism is a ludicrous proposition. It's ill-formed and it's perfectly French. That Gallic disposition towards common sense. L'Anarchie!

If the U.K. were threatening to withdraw from Europe, I would certainly want Scotland to be out of that.

That's the great thing about literature -- it makes the world less lonely.

Keep your own house and its surroundings pure and clean. This hygiene will keep you healthy and benefit your worldly life.
