"When I went over to the States to promote Outrider, everyone was telling me I was a blues guitarist. I'm not a bloody blues guitarist. I'm a guitarist."

"I don't think I'm a shy person. I'm just very focused on my music."

"I've always been interested in the extraordinary."

"But if you want me to knock Kingdom Come, all I will say is that I heard the guitarist said he'd never heard my playing, and I'd defy any guitarist in American not to have heard Led Zeppelin."

"I've always been interested in pushing boundaries."
