I don't deal in technique. I deal in emotions.

I always thought the good thing about the guitar was that they didn't teach it in school.

There's music that can affect people in their lives, and they will always relate to the point that they heard it and experienced it, either if you're playing it or you're receptive, as an audience.

But to put out a greatest hits on one CD was totally impossible, I just couldn't do it. The best compromise was to put out two CDs - Early Days - which is what it is - and Latter Days.

I'm very fortunate because I love what I'm doing.

The element of change has been the thing, really. We put out the first one, then the second... then a third LP totally different from them. It's the reason we were able to keep it together.

I'm not afraid of death. That is the greatest mystery of all. That'll be it, that one. But it is all a race against time.
