As for fame, it can go to your head and you can become full of yourself.

When I play, I very quickly put myself into a light hypnotic trance and compose while playing, drawing directly from the emotions.

Well I was on the one hand, the more I played the guitar the more I began to really love the guitar and to love virtually any kind of music that anybody played well on guitar.

I just want to be treated like an average guy.

How can I be a folk? I'm from the suburbs you know.

See my father knew a lot about music, he played the piano and he would do theory and stuff like that, but I didn't learn anything from him, but I played that for him and he liked it a lot.

The other thing in composition is opening up the unconscious.
