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.

My life has been a roller coaster ride, but somehow I've always been able to land on my feet and still play the guitar.

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.

One of the greatest gifts I've ever gotten is my daughter.

A lot of times, I played bass on songs. Gene plays guitar on some songs.

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

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