For me it's about the music, and it always has been. Maybe for some other people it's more about money.

One thing I love to do is produce. I've produced a couple of bands. I mean, nothing ever really happened with 'em, but I enjoy getting a young band into the studio and guiding them, and making them feel at ease.

Finding a good band is Iike finding a good wife. You got to keep trying till you find the right one.

I've recorded 25 or 30 albums. I know that sometimes when you work with producers who are kinda dictators, it doesn't help you make a better record.

If I had known I would influence so many guitarists, I would have practiced more.

I think the fans really wanna hear the songs the way they sound on the record.

Whenever I start to really think about what I'm playing, I may play it better musically, but the feeling isn't there.
