The potential audience seems to be dwindling in the states. I was kind of embarrassed for the band because of the size of the audience.

I'm hopeless at playing scales. Try and be instinctive first and analytic afterwords, although it's good to study the theory of music.

The guitar has a kind of grit and excitement possessed by nothing else.

I tend to be not a person who does everything right all the time.

Sometimes if the guitar is the last thing to go on, it's very fresh.

I have to build my own boat this time. It's a big sea out there, and I have a pretty small boat. I have a lot of belief in it.

I'm into paradoxes. I wanted to make an album about them, but the group told me I was a pretentious fart. They were right.
