• George Harrison was a fabulous, fabulous, fabulous guitarist, and a wonderful example of what a rock star should be. I totally revered him as an innovator. He was always fresh, daring, magnificently melodic, full of spiritual quality, and totally conscious of the chord structure beneath the solo. And he had the courage to play simple. He never took refuge in effects, or tried to impress with speed. I hope he knew how much we all loved and respected him.

• I think a lot of rock stars take themselves too seriously. Then again, if you want to be a ‘star’ you’ve got to appear to take yourself very seriously indeed. I, unfortunately, could never do this for any length of time. Probably because of my upbringing, my feet were planted far too firmly on the ground. I found the rock star thing pretty laughable. I couldn’t take those types seriously. If I had, I would probably have got further along in the business.
