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.

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

I loved playing the guitar and I knew I was pretty good at it, so that's what I wanted to do with my life.

I don't like to practice; I like spontaneity. When I don't play guitar for a week and I pick it up again, I play better.

I'm just a kid from Bronx who got lucky.

People, y'know, they either love us or they hate us; there's no middle ground.

As long as I know what key the solo is in, I try to kind of empty my mind and not think about anything. I just play without thinking.
