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.

My son's taking drum lessons, and my daughter's taking piano lessons. One day they're going to start a band.

I wanted to be a martial arts film star when I was a teenager.

In the '90s, guitar solos were dead.

I'm looking to see what the bigger picture is.

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.

I just like music. If it's hookey and good, I dig it.
