I've never been good at the money thing. I have had a couple of really nice but inept managers, and a business accountant that ripped me off. But I cannot totally blame my money making lameness on them.

As a musician, I have always refrained from criticizing another artist.

I started playing the acoustic guitar for more singer-songwriter type stuff. I bet if I would have gotten more approval for my "rock playing", I might be a world class shredder.

I think Im different from a lot of singer-songwriters because some of my favorite singer-songwriters told stories. Like John Prine.

My mom wore the pants in the family, for sure. I always say, that I spent my childhood trying to get the love and attention of my mom, and now I can't get rid of it.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a spy detective or a rock star.

I have never made a cent off a record in my life. I have never recouped enough, and I never sold enough.
