I grew up playing in clubs - that's my spiritual stomping ground.

And if I don't be there by morning, she'll know that I must've spent the night in jail.

'My Father's Eyes' is very personal. I realized that the closest I ever came to looking in my father's eyes was when I looked into my son's eyes.

Having lovers and friends is all good and fine But I don't like yours and you don't like mine.

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.

The first guitar I ever had was a gut-string Spanish guitar, and I couldn't really get the hang of it. I was only 13, and I talked my grandparents into buying it for me. I tried and tried and tried, but got nowhere with it.

It's been up to me to inspire me.
