My driving philosophy about making music is that you can reduce it all down to one note if that note is played with the right kind of sincerity.

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

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.

All I am certain of right now is that I don't want to go anywhere, and that's not bad for someone who always used to run.

I think everybody has their own way of looking at their lives as some kind of pilgrimage. Some people will see their role as a pilgrim in terms of setting up a fine family, or establishing a business inheritance. Everyone's got their own definition.

I feel wonderful because I see the love light in your eyes, and the wonder of it all is you just don't realize how much I love you.

You can't mastermind everything. You'll go crazy. Just show up and play.
