For me, it doesn't matter how difficult something is, it doesn't matter how impressive it is, it's what sounds best that really counts.

I wish I was a shredder that could play everything, but I don't have the patience.

My skin is my canvas. The artwork on it represents something that is very powerful and meaningful in my life. I look at my skin as something of a living diary because all my tattoos represent a time in my life. And I never wish to shut the door on the past, so I carry it all with me.

There have been times when I felt suicidal and I would stop my head from going in that direction of negativity because I thought there'd be something I'd miss that was funny in the future. If there's a chance I'm going to laugh tomorrow then want to live to experience that.

I'm not the type of player to sit home and practice scales and work on runs.

Guitar playing is just something that came to me and is really second nature now.

I've done a lot of talk shows where you can tell that the host is just thinking about what he wants to say next while you're answering him and that's really uncomfortable.
