I can listen to all different sorts of music. I don't really care about The Next Big Thing.

So many people are frightened to take a chance in life and there's so many chances you have to take.

Sometimes, I must admit, I'd like to have a second guitarist onstage with me, but it wouldn't look right. I'd like to play for another 20 years, but I don't know... I just can't see it happening. I don't know why. It's a certain foreboding... a funny feeling... vultures.

There's too many good musicians around for the music around for the business to be sagging.

There's so much that can be done on the guitar. And that's what is so good about the guitar - everyone can really enjoy themselves on it and have a good time, which is what it's all about.

My finger picking is sort of a cross between Pete Seeger, Earl Scruggs, and total incompetence.

I bet you can't play slide piano.
