In my own musical existence I don't feel that being a guitar player is like the best thing on earth to be. I would rather be a balanced musician. Playing in a group, I'm tending to think more about the music and less about the guitar. That's just me getting older. I'm not interested in being a virtuoso guitar player or anything like that.

That's part of that thing of transcending languages. Every person will have their own language.

I mean, just because you're a musician doesn't mean all your ideas are about music. So every once in a while I get an idea about plumbing, I get an idea about city government, and they come the way they come.

You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know.

You do not merely want to be considered just the best of the best. You want to be considered the only one who does what you do.

All I know is, if you listen to society, you'll never get anywhere!

Nothing left to do but smile.
