When I'm playing best, I'm just thinking about the music, just interacting with what my bandmates are playing.

I'm always looking to disprove what I think I know for sure. I call that learning.

Almost everything that gets called "universal truth" or "common sense" is actually cultural. And too easily twisted into justifications for all kinds of behavior.

Usually if someone starts making universal claims, I tune right on out.

There were no rules. There's no guide to follow. I would just trust my instincts for some unknown reason. Something inside me would say, "This guitar is not loud enough," and I wouldn't know why. You never know how to reach that point until you've reached it.

When we play, every day is different. All three of my bandmates surprise me all the time.
