They have decided to tour under the name of Ten Years After which I don't think is very cool. To be honest, they have had to do that as it's the only way they can get any work.

I'd love to change the world, but I don't know what to do

Strangely enough, through all those school years I decided at 13 or 14 I was going to be a musician and so school was just something to get out of the way, a waste of time and not to bother with it.

I began to learn a lot of chords and rhythms. It was a bit boring at the time but came in very handy later on.

I started off playing the clarinet, after I was inspired by listening to my dad's Benny Goodman records.

So if you see Ten Years After, it's not me anymore. I'm very happy with what I am doing now.

The chances of a reunion now are less likely. I was thinking of having a 40th anniversary of the band, but now they are really another band, so it's all a bit weird.

Anywhere you go in the world is what you make of it, not what you read in books.

I think a lot of modern day guitarists start off playing like Eddie van Halen, and they don't take the time to learn the basics.

It was by listening to Goodman's band, that I began to notice the guitarist Charlie Christian, who was one of the first musicians to play solos in a big band set-up.

I think I'll continue to work as a solo artist.

Honey from the devil's fingers tastes bitter.

Men like fun much more than they like clever

With strong will, you can soar high on eagle’s wings.

I have no problem with being vetted. What I do have a problem with is being lied about and then putting that as truth.

Four turnovers. Two assists. I told him he'd have the game ball if he had taken care of the ball a little bit better.

They say the camera never lies. It lies every day.

It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure.

Good and evil go hand in hand, you can't seperate them.

Anything that becomes an obstacle in life is only an opportunity to learn and it's the same in any profession I think.

Whereas each man claims his freedom as a matter of right, the freedom he accords to other men is a matter of toleration.
