"I've never mastered the guitar. Either I was playing it, or it was playing me; it depends how you look at it. As a kid, the only things I had to do was go to school, do my homework, and play guitar."

"I don't think I'm a difficult person to work with. I just have a very clear vision of what I want."

"I don't like to be told what to do."

"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'm not a rock star. I'm a musician."
