Dave Davies

“My family making music was like a folk background, really: banging on tabletops, playing banjo and all kinds of things.”

“There's no point waking up in the morning feeling sorry for yourself.”

“I learned five chords; I thought I knew it all.”

“I have always worked with energy. Everything is energy. Buddhism. Christ teachings. These are foundation stones for a spiritual life.”

“A lot of people that embark on spiritual endeavors tended to, especially in the '60s and '70s, they tended to give up what they had before and cut themselves off from their lives, previous life as it were. But, I don't think that one should do that.”

“I think there's been a big problem between religion, or organized religion, and spirituality.”

“It's the easiest thing in the world to be down about anything. I think the body responds to good vibes.”

“Exmoor and Dartmoor are sacred, magical places. You find a truer side of yourself there.”
