I've always had money because of my early success with Cream, so I tell young musicians to aim to write their own material, because owning the composition rights makes a very big difference.

I think I'm an okay parent, but I'd put myself in the category of a musician-who-happened-to-become-a-father. I'm definitely not a father-who-happened-to-be-a-musician.

Thankfully I'm not endlessly ambitious, but I have done some crazy ambitious things like buying an island off the west coast of Scotland in the late Sixties.

Well I like everything but my first love has always been piano because when I started out there was a piano in my house and it was there so I just started tinkling on it really so it's always been my first love.

But all the money in the world cannot make you happy either, so there has to be a balance.

All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy.

A wise man looks upon men as he does on horses; all their comparisons of title, wealth, and place, he consider but as harness.

I'd always be loaning my sister money, knowing full well I wasn't going to get it back. But she had the kids, and that paid me back.
