- My records do not require a lot of thought of ‘What is this?’ and ‘What is that?’ That would be too contrived for me.
- I put out records to this day that are not necessarily in a sequence of anything. Some could be written a while back, some not. There is no set pattern.
- My thinking musically has always been more advanced – it is difficult to get it down onto paper sometimes, even now.
- For a long time, I couldn’t actually deal with playing concerts; it was a totally alien concept to me, ’cause I was used to playing in clubs and dance halls.
- I don’t feel comfortable doing interviews. My profession is music, and writing songs. That’s what I do. I like to do it, but I hate to talk about it.
- Being famous was extremely disappointing for me. When I became famous it was a complete drag and it is still a complete drag.
- Even today, skiffle is a defining part of my music. If I get the opportunity to just have a jam, skiffle is what I love to play.
