Lead

I made a lot of money, but you can dangerously let it lead you on. It depends what company you keep.

When 'The Road To Hell' happened, I didn't know what I was doing. Your diary fills up, and you have no objectivity. At home, you're trying your best to fit in. Sometimes I'd race from Heathrow to find myself sitting in a village hall watching my kids. It felt really weird. I didn't enjoy it.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

My ambition, a long time ago, was to be a film music writer. A compromise then was to be the guy who wrote songs for a band and played slide guitar. Then the singer didn't turn up for an audition, and I was the only one who knew the words. That was it - bingo! Life took a different course.

Lovely

Nov 07, 2020

Ferraris are lovely cars, but I just don't want to be seen in them.

Happy
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm never happy with anything I've done! If you sat me down and played everything I've ever recorded, I'd just sit there going, 'No... that could be better.'

High

Nov 07, 2020

Eric Clapton's scales - when he comes off a high note and it's time for a refrain or a little bit of a rest, he peals off scales going downwards that are so good it's unbelievable.

Nov 07, 2020

I didn't start until I was 21, and most people I know were 13 when they had their first guitar - I missed that time where you sit in your bedroom all day for years and accidentally you're doing classical training, although you're not thinking of it that way. It's not as easy, as you get older, to do all that kind of practice.

I'd become a corporate rock musician. I worked for 'Chris Rea.' He felt like another person. I even talked about him in the third person.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

In a funny way, the illness spurred me on. I thought to myself, 'I've got to get through this operation to make a blues album.'

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

The operation left me very emotional. I cry a lot anyway. I've always been the type to feel hurt easily, but now I hit rock bottom.

Down
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think I've lost that ability to slow things down - that ability drivers have to calculate what's coming by you at tremendous speed. I used to have it.

Jazz
|
Nov 07, 2020

I played a gig at the Montreax Jazz Festival once - and on a song called 'It's All Gone,' I had to do free-form slide solo. It's the best thing I've ever done - because I wasn't thinking about it.

Colour
|
Nov 07, 2020

You can't have F1 without Ferrari - you just can't have it. It's part of the theme that is the red car, and a lot of it is to do with the colour.

Nov 07, 2020

I've given up my Ferrari - the idea of going through my village in a 488... You can't drive them on English roads.

Good

Nov 07, 2020

Nothing was ever clean enough for my father. You could never clean as good as he could; you could never clean as fast and as thorough as he could.

Control
|
Nov 07, 2020

My father used to control the wholesale of many ice-cream items in Middlesbrough. He was central distributor for most of the region.

Earth
|
Nov 07, 2020

I remember my first day at grammar school, being the only person who was me. Everybody else was like everybody else, and there I was, tanned, in a freezing cold playground in the middle of Middlesbrough, wondering what on earth I was doing there.

Dad
|
Nov 07, 2020

Dad was a distant figure, autonomous, a cross between the Pope and Mussolini. He was very Italian, as were all of my uncles, although they were second generation.

Nothing
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm lucky to be alive. I'm one of only 40 people who have survived the surgery I had, and when you've been that close to dying, you re-evaluate what's really important to you - and it's nothing to do with fame and money.
