I'm touched by rock n' roll. I'm touched by the Beatles. I want some of the music I do to reflect that.

It's always been about making music. I've never gotten caught up with the trappings. You can't get caught up in the limousines and the chicks. The most important thing is the music.

You have to make a decided effort to not get seduced by the Blues.

Once you discover that you can, then you must.
