I Bet You Can't Play Slide Piano.

No. I Usually Rest In My Satin-lined Coffin, Actually. I'm Not Allowed Out In Daylight Hours.

I'm Obsessed - Not Just Interested, Obsessed - With Folk Music, Street Music, The Parallels Between A Country's Street Music And Its So-called Classical And Intellectual Music, The Way Certain Scales Have Travelled Right Across The Globe. All This Ethnological And Musical Interaction Fascinates Me. Have You Heard Any Trance Music? That's The Thing.

I Guess The Solo From 'achilles Last Stand' Is In The Same Tradition As The Solo From 'stairway To Heaven'...it Is On That Level To Me.

I'm Pretty Optimistic About The Future Of Rock... It Will Be Back To Composition As In Classical Music Or Jazz.

I Always Felt If We Were Going In To Do An Album, There Should Already Be A Lot Of Structure Already Made Up So We Could Get On With That And See What Else Happened.
