There was a time I thought I couldn't enjoy rock 'n' roll unless I had heroin in me

I have seen more bad songs make it because of MTV than good ones that haven't.

I never envisioned what I was doing as part of a career.

I'm glad that I never ended up killing myself, though I came close more times than I would like to admit.

There are guys in country music who are wizards on the guitar. If you're a country fan, you're used to it. But as a rock guitar player, you listen.

Hopefully I'm bringing to rock n' roll the kind of spontaneity that I love, and always believed rock and roll stands for.

Get good live and get a following because that's what people notice.
