Well, I think part of my gift, or if I have one, is that I love listening.

I have always been resistant to doctrine, and any spirituality I had experienced thus far in my life had been much more abstract and not aligned with any recognized religion. For me, the most trustworthy vehicle for spirituality had always proven to be music. It cannot be manipulated, or politicized, and when it is, that becomes immediately obvious.

I never set myself too high a goal. It was always tone and feeling, for me.

I like solitude. I like the anomalous life. I like a quiet life.

One of the most beneficial things I've ever learned is how to keep my mouth shut.

There are people these days who can do things on the guitar which are beyond my reach. There's one guy who plays with Queen who can do things I would dream of doing. I sincerely mean that.

It is painful to relive things that have caused emotional crises or whatever and find ways to express that musically.
