Noel Redding

My lady, Deborah McNaughton is doing a documentary on me.

At the age of nine, playing the violin at school, and then onto the mandolin.

I was the first guy to join the band with Hendrix.

As a kid, I pretty much got nothing but scorn, and occasionally active animus, for writing fantasy and squirreling it away in my closet and, later, under the mattress supports in my bed.

I love fat people. Every fat person says it's not their fault, that they have gland trouble. You know which gland? The saliva gland.

In early 1993, when I was 12, I was separated from my family as the Sierra Leone civil war, which began two years earlier, came into my life.
