If you feel people getting on about what you are doing, it gives you a lift.
I didn't sit down and work out other people's material; I've never believed in that.
Once you start copying other people's licks, you begin thinking they're yours. Doing that's just an easy way out.
It gives me a good feeling to know that people out there really care.
I go for as much feeling as I can rather than show what I can do up and down the neck. I don't play to show people ability.
I was very keen on people like Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Gene Vincent.
