What I wanted to do was play the guitar but I don't like instrumental rock. I think it is tripe.

To go see a band in a big venue is a difficult experience. I don't really like that too much. I'm not a guy who puts on iTunes and goes, "Oh, what's hot!" I don't need to.

Actually, I think my hands are in the best shape they've ever been in terms of what I can do.

I admire photographers who can take much more ordinarily subject matter and make it transcend that ordinariness, so that it becomes something else fresh and new. It opens this doorway. I really admire people who can do that with photography.

I actually think I play better now than Ive ever played.

The most obvious thing you can't do with a guitar synthesizer is to really sound like a guitar.

I don't like playing standards. I like to do my own cutting edge work.
