And this whole period of time of gradually working at being a better guitar player and songwriter have gradually led me to the point where I feel I'm doing a clearer representation of the thing that I've been feeling inside me since I was four years old.

I write songs because I have to write them, and if I didn't I'd be doing some other kind of music that didn't require a song.

We are all very lucky to live in a world where there is this much music.

Rock guitarists usually do not wish to think trains of thought about anything but their own guitar playing during a long solo, and I could not play this way if I were not able to divide my attention between my ever changing musical environment and my instrument itself.

Right now my taste is going more for things that are organic where the people are using all the sonic possibilities in interesting ways.

Rock music is electronic music, dependent entirely on electronic circuitry and amplification.

I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.
