I knew that I had done my best on 'Tell The Truth'… I was so proud of that record.
I think that 'Tell the Truth' is one of the best rock records ever made by me or anyone - I really do.
I can put on 'Revolver' or 'Led Zeppelin II' and then 'Tell the Truth' and there is no quality gap.
I always loved music. I liked to go to church because I liked to sing the hymns.
I'm always happy when I'm outside working in the company of nature.
When you're on stage playing, when I plug in a guitar and chord, I'm 16 years old again. I feel the same excitement. It's very overwhelming. It engulfs you.
I wouldn't want to end up in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as the 'Master of Hip-Hop Samples,' but you take what you can get.
For me, music is this incredibly cerebral trip. You turn on the radio or put on a record, and it's your song, it's what you see.
I'm a huge garden and landscape fanatic.
I was a mess… It's like ‘Rock Me Tonite' is an MBA course on how a video can go really wrong.
I would never dispute the fact that music is my greatest love.
I got out of the business because I went from being the biggest artist on my record label to someone they didn't even want to have around.
Basically, my life was music, and I was always consumed by it.
I tend to be very methodical for a variety of reasons. I'm more of a plodder.
I had great trouble believing in myself, so I didn't believe in my success - I didn't enjoy my success, which I thought was insane.
The whole British music scene of the mid-sixties had a pretty profound effect on me.
British rock & roll became the gospel for American kids like me.
I was always regarded as being better than ninety percent of the kids in school, but I was also something of a loner.
I'm happier in a garden.
There's this raw, basic quality people expect in my music.
