"When you're playing such brilliant music every day, then the last thing you ever want to do is try to write something of your own that's crude and not as good."

It's a real gift to be able to have the works of brilliant, great people to learn from and build from. It gives you so much more to draw on, and then you don't have to be all about three-chord pop songs. I don't really like that kind of writing.
