I'm happier in a garden.

I'm basically a nice guy.

You just stroke me, stroke me.

Spread your ear pollution far and wide.

I'm a huge garden and landscape fanatic.

Becoming a Top Ten artist has surprised me.

Lonely is the night when you find yourself alone.

I tend to deal with things in a very serious manner.

It certainly is a positive thing… having a trademark.

You might think you see a lucky man who made the grade.

Your lips are my persuasion, your love will be my cure.

I rise at the break of day, your smile sets me on my way.

I don't make grandiose, prophetic statements in my songs.

There's this raw, basic quality people expect in my music.

I was very humbled by the 'one-man Led Zeppelin' comparisons.

I would never dispute the fact that music is my greatest love.

Basically, my life was music, and I was always consumed by it.

I don't like pictures of me showing my hair sticking up in back.

British rock & roll became the gospel for American kids like me.

I'm not a poet. So the writing process is a difficult one for me.

It would be easier to be more mysterious, but I try to be accessible.

I just started exploring the guitar and seeing where it would take me.

Take the road where the eagle flies, man follows where his fortune lies.

I don't feel I have to be Jackson Browne. Still, I like to say something.

When I write the songs, I don't dictate how people should interpret them.

I try to keep the theatrics to a minimum and let the music do the talking.

I mean, I would always like to play bigger places and play for more people.

Studio work is very methodical, while live concerts must be very spontaneous.

Singing is the form I've chosen to express myself. It's the way I emote best.

I tend to be very methodical for a variety of reasons. I'm more of a plodder.

I'm not gonna get it all right, but I take my victories, as small as they are.

I always loved music. I liked to go to church because I liked to sing the hymns.

I was a good-looking, sexy guy. That certainly didn't hurt in promoting my music.

Red lights, green lights, stop and go jive. Headlines, deadlines, jamming your mind.

The whole British music scene of the mid-sixties had a pretty profound effect on me.

When a band retires or is In hiding, a void is created. The fans' need is still there.

If 'Emotions in Motion' comes out right, I can write the book on the formula rock star.

Life isn't that complicated on paper. It's made more complex by the day and age we live.

I support a lot of causes, but I do it privately. My profession shouldn't be a platform.

You got your glory and you paid for it all, you take your pension in loneliness and alcohol.

Consummate talent and relentless passion - The Truth ain't pretty...but it rocks like crazy!

I was a mess… It's like 'Rock Me Tonite' is an MBA course on how a video can go really wrong.

You guard your hopes and pocket your dreams, you'd trade it all to avoid an unpleasant scene.

I started as a guitarist and couldn't find a decent singer, so I started providing my own vocals.

I can put on 'Revolver' or 'Led Zeppelin II' and then 'Tell the Truth' and there is no quality gap.

I have a great deal of respect for myself as a musician and a writer, even if I'm not doing it anymore.

My parents are proud of me now. However, when I first became involved with rock music, they were afraid.

I just stopped playing. I did some screenwriting and got into the nature thing. Music kind of went away.

What I do is a bit broader in scope than a heavy metal band like Iron Maiden, Motorhead, ACDC and so on.

But I don't let my bad feelings rule my life. I acknowledge them because I can't pretend they aren't there.
