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

I took classical piano lessons from the age of five.

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.

I'm not a rock star. Sure I am, to a certain extent because of the situation, but when kids ask me how it feels to be a rock star, I say leave me alone, I'm not a rock star. I'm not in it for the fame, I'm in it because I like to play.

I'm just a guitarist in a kick-ass rock and roll band. What more could I ask for?

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

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.
