We do this for the art, not the adulation. I'd rather our music get liked and we get ignored. I don't want to be adored for anything other than the music.
That's one of the things I like best about folk music is the beautiful melodies - and the harmonies - that exist in it. And of course, some of the stories, the story songs.
I'm never worried about being upstaged. I love to have the best, most individual people come in and see if we hit on something.
I kept thinking, I went to college and I have to get a real job.
I like how strong Sade is and how she doesn't give away too much.
T-Bone Walker was a big influence on just about every guitar player around.
I don't have a Twitter or a Facebook, but that doesn't mean I'm any more productive than the rest of the world.
I idolised bands like Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins, who wanted to reach as many people as they could.
The first band I was in, I think was called The Strangers. I got the sack because I was too small!
I've never done a solo tour. I feel like getting out there and doing that.
When I am tanned and in shape I feel confident about my appearance.
That's it really, at the moment I wouldn't say I was influenced by any one thing in particular.
Everyone gets frustrated and aggressive, and I'd sooner take my aggression out on a guitar than on a person.
Led Zeppelin would never have reformed if he or Jimmy Page were bald.
I get labelled as just being about one thing, but there's lots of layers to what I do.
No man should have cowboys boots in his wardrobe. That's fair enough, isn't it? Unless you're a cowboy, of course.
I had a total belief in The Style Council. I meant every word and felt every action.
I can do the old hand vibrato just fine, but I like attacking the strings.
I like leaping around on stage as long as it's done with class. None of this jumping up in the air and doing the splits.
I can imagine that Rod Stewart likes giving autographs because he's pure showbusiness.
If Mr. [V.S.] Naipaul takes no pleasure in the happy delineation of the varieties of human nature, then he must be intolerably stupid.
