My vocation is more in composition really than anything else - building up harmonies using the guitar, orchestrating the guitar like an army, a guitar army.

You can't buy time. Everything, for me, seems to be a race against time. Especially musically.

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.

The greatest satisfaction is not the decoration. It is knowing that I am able to help someone who needs help.

You absorb so much from whatever your environment is, as an artist, and you learn to take from it what can help you create.
