As a teenager, I used to travel everywhere with my guitar. I appreciated the fact it was with me, but it was always an absolute pain to carry around - even though, in those days, you could take in on a plane as hand luggage. ”

I don't think women have ever thrown themselves at me, although I'm quite naive about these things, or was when I was available. ”

Life is about now - some things are just too important to miss. ”
