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

I don't understand why some people will only accept a guitar if it has an instantly recognizable guitar sound. Finding ways to use the same guitar people have been using for 50 years to make sounds that no one has heard before is truly what gets me off.

As long as there's something original going on, that's all that matters.

I don't care about the rules, if I don't break the rules at least 10x every song then I'm not doing my job.

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

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.
