Best Jeff Beck Quotes

The Top Ten

4 I was really small when jazz broke through in England and I can still remember sneaking off to the living room to listen to it on the radio - much to my parent's disapproval.
5 I'm a very emotional person. If I've got something on my mind, that would stop me from giving my best.
6 I play purely from the heart, y'know, and so if it doesn't work the first couple of hours, forget it.
7 If you were to plot my success or failure, it goes, it very seldom stays on a high plateau.
8 I like an element of chaos in music. That feeling is the best thing ever, as long as you don't have too much of it.
9 I try to become a singer. The guitar has always been abused with distortion units and funny sorts of effects, but when you don't do that and just let the genuine sound come through, there's a whole magic there.
10 It's a diabolical business. I can't imagine how hellish it must be to be hounded like Amy Winehouse and people like that.
