1- There is irreducible chance in the universe.
2- The future is deterministic in principle, but not in practice
3- God created a system which gave us freewill.
4- I can’t help other people’s frustrations. I don’t owe people anything. If people would like to come to my concerts, I’d love them to come. And if they like the music that I make, I love that, too. But I do not make music for other people. I make it to please myself.
5- Love affairs that start in blood tend to end up in blood
6- Our music has depth, and attempts philosophical thought and meaning with discussions of infinity, eternity and mortality. There is a line which people cross that turns it into some magical, mystical realm, for which I dont claim responsibility and dont hold any great truck with.
7- I’ve been in The Who, I’ve been in The Beatles and I’ve been in Pink Floyd! Top that!
8- Personally, I’m not very keen on the visualization of absolutely everything.
9- The second time you see something is really the first time. You need to know how it ends before you can appreciate how beautifully it’s put together from the beginning.
10- I was never particularly gregarious. I was quite shy, closed in. It’s a classic isn’t it, your psychiatrist will tell you, that’s how I release it, through music.
11- It’s not true that you fall in love only once in your life. But it is true that you only fall in love a certain way, with a certain absoluteness, once.
12- If people would like to come to my concerts I’d love them to come. And if they like the music that I make, I love that too. But I do not make music for other people. I make it to please myself.
13- Obviously, they’re all a gang of idiots. But, you know… live and let live.
14- Make life an art rather than art from life.
15- When a woman tells you she’s had a dream about you, you know what’s going on, don’t you? It means she likes you. It’s her way of telling you that you’re on her mind. Really on her mind
16- It’s a magical thing, the guitar. It allows you to be the whole band in one, to play rhythm and melody, sing over the top. And as an instrument for solos, you can bend notes, draw emotional content out of tiny movements, vibratos and tonal things which even a piano can’t do.
17- The music tends to be an expression of one’s darker moments.
18- It’s not whether God plays dice; it’s how God plays dice.
19- Don’t bait your breath. That’s bad for your health.
