One of my earliest inspirations was the 'Allan-a-Dale' character played by Elton Hayes in the 1954 movie 'The Story Of Robin Hood And His Merrie Men.' He was a wandering minstrel with his guitar.

Everyone tried to be a singer other than just a player. We had four voices in The Moody Blues.

Music is my first love.

In the studio is one thing, but playing live is the important part, I think.

Traveling around, coming down to Florida for a few days, it's fun! You go on the road, you get inspired to write other stuff.

'Mull of Kintyre' was the biggest single of all time up until 'Don't They Know It's Christmas' by that big charity.

I was into all sorts of music as a kid. I was very curious about ethnic music and different styles. I loved Django Reinhardt. I loved Ella Fitzgerald. I was also influenced by all the crooners of the day, like Johnny Ray, Frankie Lane.

I like to live in the future.

I knew Paul when he was in the Beatles. We did the second Beatles British tour with the Moody Blues. And we became friends. I went to a couple of the sessions for the 'Sgt. Pepper' album, we went to parties together, we went to see Jimi Hendrix together.
