From the classical guitar right through to the furthest electrical experiments and everything in-between, it's amazing what the guitar can actually do. I mean, when one thinks about sounds.

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 love playing. If it was down to just that, it would be utopia.

Many people in the neighborhood liked hip-hop and house music, and I couldn't play that. You can't perform that on guitar or drums, which was what I was playing, at the time. But, I got so much from mariachi bands that were constantly playing in the neighborhood.

No. I usually rest in my satin-lined coffin, actually. I'm not allowed out in daylight hours.

I'm pretty optimistic about the future of rock... it will be back to composition as in classical music or jazz.

I'm over 30 now, but I didn't expect to be here.
