I need people to call me, I never remember to call anyone - otherwise I'll just sit in my house and listen to music all day.

When the intellectual part of guitar playing overrides the spiritual, you don't get to extreme heights.

I don’t pay attention to the world. I just have the art I like and the music I like and for me that’s the whole world

That's what I spend most of my time doing, breathing a lot. I like air.

I would say a lot of the emotion in what I do is a sort of a thankfulness for those energies being around, because there's been points in my life when they weren't around, and it's a real sort of miserable existence.

I'm not interested in forcing my music on people, and that's what the whole music industry nowadays is based on is forcing stations to play it, forcing people to listen to it.

Music is energy, and energy is the single most important form of it in the world. Without energy, there is no life. The only difference between a dead person and a live person is the energy, the electricity flowing inside their system, and that's what makes music.
