When it comes to luck, you make your own.

The past is never the past. It is always present. And you better reckon with it in your life and in your daily experience, or it will get you. It will get you really bad.

You use to drive me wild, but lately you get your kicks from just knocking me down, down, down.

By the time I was 19, my parents weren't very authoritative over my life.I didn't have any doubt about that - at that time about what I was going to do or where I was going. I was a musician. I was going to play. I had a band. We were going to make enough money to survive on.

This music is forever for me. It's the stage thing, that rush moment that you live for. It never lasts, but that's what you live for.

I don't want to make a record like in the '50s or the '60s or the '70s. I want to make a record like today, that`s right now.

When I was growing up, there were two things that were unpopular in my house. One was me, and the other was my guitar.
