I would go to heaven, if I believed in heaven.

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.

When I was on the big labels, I never calculated what would make me sell more records. I just did what I did -no different than when I wrote songs for myself in high-school.

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

I would go to heaven, if I believed in heaven.

I still have this unrealistic faith, that one day, my ship will come in. More people will discover, understand and buy my stuff.

When people see you have a song on MTV, they think you are doing well - but you know, the way the traditional label deal was set up, it is really hard for an artist, unless they sold a lot, to see anything.
