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

Let's just say I'm like a ship passing through storms, resting in ports now and then until it's time to continue the journey. I once told a friend, `I'm just looking for an angel with a broken wing - one that couldn't fly away.'

I've never regretted anything I've ever done.

I'm not interested in turning anybody on to anybody that I'm turned on to... if people want to find things, they find them themselves.

I'm not a guitarist as far as a technician goes, I just pick it up and play it. Technique doesn't come into it.

There are very few people I can call real, close friends. They're very, very precious to me.

I can only listen to what I'm working on, at the time. I can't listen to anything else because I don't want to copy it.
