When I got into music, I wanted to learn guitar just enough to be able to write songs. I wanted to be able to express myself.

I'm not ashamed of selling millions of records. I'm very fortunate to be in that position.

I don't want to be that parent that puts my kids into what I think they should be in, you know what I mean?

I don't want to say I can't wait to get back to normal life, because I don't. I don't want to get back to normal life.

For me, something will come in my head and I'll either end up calling my cell phone to record it, or I'll just pick my guitar up and see what comes out. Sometimes it sucks, sometimes it doesn't. So there's really no set method behind it.

Believe half of what you see and only some of what you hear, unless you hear it from me.

In the '90s, guitar solos were dead.
