For me there is something primitively soothing about this music, and it went straight to my nervous system, making me feel ten feet tall.

I admire Eddie Van Halen and Steve Lukather, but they might blow me away quite easily if we were to jam together.

I am, and always will be, a blues guitarist.

They found our hero in the gutter with a diamond ring and a gun.

My original interests and intentions in guitar playing were primarily created on quality of tone, for instance, the way the instrument could be made to echo or simulate the human voice.

I can't play long solos anymore without boring myself.

I just like the company of beautiful women. I have a weakness in that department. And I suppose because I am fairly well off and a famous musician, I'm up for grabs. And that makes me an eligible bachelor in the press.
