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.

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

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.

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

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 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.

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