If you're 20 years old, you've grown up without buying albums.

My favorite sounds are the high, spacey ones that are very ambient.

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

Coming from the era of vinyl you could argue that everything went wrong in the music business the moment we went digital. The day the first CD came out, it all went downhill in the music industry. Digital destroyed everything.

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

There was a period when I'd just come out of college where I'd been playing classical guitar and I suddenly realised that it wasn't what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.

Sometimes, literally within a few minutes, you'd be off this amazing roaring scene and back at your hotel room, staring at the patten of the wallpaper. It's very surreal. You're back in your room, and it's dead quiet and really weird.
