The toughest thing about being a celebrity, I suppose, is being polite when I don't want to be.

So there I was in Hollywood, thinking I was doing good.

Given the choice between accomplishing something and just lying around, I'd rather lie around. No contest.

The point of being at home is to be with my family as much as possible.

I just managed to convince my grandmother that it was a worth while that was something to do, you know, and when I did finally get the guitar, it didn't seem that difficult to me, to be able to make a good noise out of it.

I did play a lot of fingerstyle when I first started playing. I could never really find the right combination of flatpick or fingerpick, so playing fingerstyle is really the easiest way - though it's quite strenuous on the fingertips.

Musically, he was like an old man in a boy's skin.
