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

A lot of solos I hear sound so incredible, but they sound like somebody practicing. They sound a bit soulless - fiery, but at the same time, lacking in spirit and soul.

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

The Strat covers the complete spectrum of human emotion .. the tremolo enables you to do anything - you can hit any note known to mankind

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.

If you don't have an album or you don't have any tune, you can't start.

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