The cello is such a melancholy instrument, such an isolated, miserable instrument.

I was impressed by Hendrix. His attitude was brilliant. Even the way he walked was amazing.

I can imagine that Rod Stewart likes giving autographs because he's pure showbusiness.

I criticize my own work pretty harshly.

I had given up the guitar between '75 and '78. I completely lost interest. I was sick of hearing other guitar players and I was tired of my tunes.

I'm not into that Keith Richard trip of having all those guitars in different tunings. I never liked the Rolling Stones much anyway.
