I'm going through a phase where I'm really accomplishing a lot of things and in that is everything I've learned.

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

Everything's very perfectly balanced; for all the horrible things in the world there's lots of good things.

I don't want to be on the radio. I don't want to be on Mtv.

Even if my songs are a bit low-spirited, they make me happy. I become happy when I hear sad songs. When you sing about sad things in a beautiful way, the atmosphere turns upside down

Artistic expression, sex, and truth are the only things that really matter.

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.
