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

All along this path I tread, my heart betrays my weary head, with nothing but my love to save, from the cradle to the grave.

I couldn't believe how good Jimi Hendrix was It was a really difficult thing for me to deal with, but I just had to surrender and say, 'This is fantastic.'

Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself.

I sought my father in the world of the black musician, because it contained wisdom, experience, sadness and loneliness. I was not ever interested in the music of boys. From my youngest years, I was interested in the music of men.

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

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