John Martyn quotes:

May you never lay your head down, without a hand to hold. May you never make your bed out in the cold.

I never really expected any of the music business to happen, but I'm glad it did. It was a very cool thing to happen. It was a hobby for me. I used to do it to meet girls. If you had long hair and could play a guitar then you got girls. That's how I started. Then I fell in love with the music and got carried away.

You can't live in the past, musically if you do, you are dead.

I really don't like being referred to as a folk artist.
