I play the way I do cause it allows me to come up w/ the sickest sounds possible. That's the point now isn't it?

I'm happy in English studios. I just feel like there's no pressure anywhere.

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.

I was interested in the electric guitar even before I knew the difference between electric and acoustic. The electric guitar seemed to be a totally fascinating plank of wood with knobs and switches on it. I just had to have one.

I cherish my privacy, and woe betide anyone who tries to interfere with that.

I wanted to be in Rolling Stone number two with a tomorrow feel to it, like an experimental Rolling Stones with Jagger singing.

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.
