I love to deal with doctrines and events. The contests of men about men I greatly dislike.
Apart from Scottish traditional music, I wasn't really influenced by any kind of music. I just basically followed my own instincts.
That's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.
