I get to cry to Barbara Walters, when things don't go my way. I'll get community service no matter which laws I break.

You think back to Tele players, and James Burton was the one who started it all. He inspired Roy Nichols (guitar for Merle Haggard & the Strangers), Don Rich (guitar for Buck Owens & the Buckaroos), and guys like that to push the envelope and expand on that sound... I really identify with that kind of thinking ... those guys to me are the reason why any of us do this.

In the past, I tried to be more of a typical session guitarist. I wasn't so concerned with impressing anybody.

When they say you're the best, I always remember that the majority of the audience probably thinks someone else should have gotten the award.

If you fall in love with somebody, then you're not even worried about your bills. Love can take your mind off of anything.

When a single mom goes out on a date with somebody new. It always winds up feeling more like a job interview.

I like to look at the songs like they're little movies.
