Songs that are just a vehicle for a guitar solo are very empty, just an excuse for a guitarist to show what scales he practiced last month.

I always think it would be great to play clubs again, and then when I do I don't like it because I just feel sometimes it's a bit too intimate.

The blues needs to be everything to you, otherwise it's not going to come across. That's what I think.

I mean, if you go to a rock gig and someone plays a ballad it can still really come across, even though there's a hundred thousand people there.

I didn't actually start to play till I was about 10. My father came home from work a Friday and he said: 'Would you like to learn to play the guitar?' I said: 'Yeah! I'd love to try!' But I didn't think for one moment that I'd be able to do it.

I didn't want to end up in Hollywood having facelifts and my hair dyed blond so I could appear on my own album cover.

I came in touch with music at an early age. My father was a show band promoter, who took me along as a little nipper of five and put me up on the stage with the musicians to sing.

I wasn't really worrying too much about what anybody thought: if you do that you shut yourself down.

When I was about 14, I went to see Cream play. I thought they were the best band in the world.

Most musicians make the same record every time, and that's fine. But the people I respected when I was growing up, like Jeff Beck - they weren't afraid to try something new.
