“Obviously I don't play the same way as Peter, but I could do a passabl...” — Gary Moore Quote

Obviously I don't play the same way as Peter, but I could do a passable imitation of Peter Green; if you gave me a guitar I could sit here and probably get closer than anybody else.

Most of the bands that come out of L.A. now have singers that all sound like Daffy Duck.

I've always thought of music in the long term. I've always tried to write songs that people could listen to a couple of years later and maybe longer.

I'm not one of those people who get emotional.

I didn't actually start to play till I was about 10. My father came home from work a Friday and he said: 'Would you like to learn to play the guitar?' I said: 'Yeah! I'd love to try!' But I didn't think for one moment that I'd be able to do it.

Yes, my parents brought us up like anybody else. We didn't get any more presents than other people.

I can't speak for anybody else but myself 'cause I usually get in trouble when I speak for other people, so I've learned my lesson not to do that, but for me, I've been known to pace for quite a while when I walk onstage, and that's just because I'm becoming one with my shell.

I'm not special, no more special than anybody else.

Even when I interviewed bands, it was about asking them about writing songs, so it was more for me than anybody else.
