Everything comes to me while I'm sitting on the pot.

I destroyed a lot of guitars trying to get them to do what I wanted, but I learned something from every guitar I tore apart, and discovered even more things. Things like if the string is not straight from the bridge saddle to the nut, you're going to have friction.

You only have 12 notes. Do what you want with them.

I just consider myself slightly left-of-center. I'm not your average bear. I - what's the word? I'm not - normal.

There's a plaque on our wall that says we've sold over 65 million albums, and I don't feel I've accomplished anything. I feel like I'm just getting started.

I boil the strings so they stretch.

The piano is a universal instrument. If you start there, learn your theory and how to read, you can go on to any other instrument.
