At the end of the day, there are a hell of a lot of notes being played out there and I defy the average middle-American or the average punter to differentiate between them.

After I saw Jimmy [Hendrix] play, I just went home and wondered what the f*** I was going to do with my life.

I like an element of chaos in music. That feeling is the best thing ever, as long as you don't have too much of it.

Nowadays music is as disposable as a McDonald's wrapper.

If you were to plot my success or failure, it goes, it very seldom stays on a high plateau.

I play purely from the heart, y'know, and so if it doesn't work the first couple of hours, forget it.

I would have loved to have been two people, but I was determined not to devote my entire life to my career.
