I'm terrible at collaborating with people; nothing ever ends up coming out good.

I like guitar. It just turned out that it's the instrument I learned to play. I have a lot of respect for it, and I'm learning more and more every day. For me, the classic band setup - guitars, drums, bass - will stay fresh forever. I don't know. I'm still into it.

Neil Young is the prime example, the grand goal, if you will. He's still shredding, and he never lost his credibility.

If people are talking about you, that's great. You start making more money, that's great. You get to go to weird places, that's great. The music industry is weird, especially with the Internet. People are calling you all kinds of weird stuff, like 'jangly.'

There's a difference between business acquaintances and friends. I consider a friend any time we eat together at the same restaurant, or he's eaten at my house, or I've eaten at his house.

I did a few documentaries as co-director and cameraman. I started off shooting a film about the war in Rhodesia. Then I did a film about an 'around the world' yacht race with a friend, and we spent nine months on a yacht. The film was about how people get on in confined spaces under extreme stress.

The relationship with my people, the Nigerian people, is very good. My relationship with the rulers has always been problematic.

Trust is not the same as faith. A friend is someone you trust. Putting faith in anyone is a mistake.
