I grew up on a lot of early Beatles, DC5, Cream, Clapton, Page, Beck and Hendrix.

The only band I was really over-into was Cream. And the only thing I really liked about them was their live stuff 'cause they played two verses, then go off and jam for 20 minutes, come back and do a chorus and end. And I love the live jam stuff, the improvisation.

I have selective hearing.

Sometimes I just want to lick David Lee Roth in the nuts

We're musicians. We make music for a living. It's that simple. Nothing else matters.

I never took guitar lessons. I took classical piano lessons from the age of six when we lived in Holland.

A guitar is just theoretically built wrong. Each string is an interval of fourths, and then the B string is off. Theoretically, that's not right, all the strings should be off.
