What you aim for, in the first place, is to be as good as you can possibly be. This is what I do, and I'm going to try to be the best in the world.

For me, the guitar synthesizer is a great writing instrument.

You don't want to be so far off the planet that you come out with something that doesn't make sense to anybody.

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

For me, a great show is when there's a great rapport with the band and the audience, and we're all really into it. The first trick is to bring the audience into the band, break the ice, have a life, and be one, so you can enjoy the next hour and a half together.

Start with the titles, and then build the music that goes with them.

I think we are coming to a new era where people will record much faster.
