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

People fall into patterns at fast speeds, when really, to have a clear musical thought - the kind of musical thought that makes a melody work - our brains just can't think that fast. At a certain point, you're going on automatic.

What's gone will never come back, but it exists when you think of it.

Anybody who's a guitar player that's spent that time with another guitar player, there's nothing better than that.

Any guitar solo should reflect the music that it's soloing over and not just be existing in its own sort of little world.

The main thing experience has taught me is that one has to sort of hone their relationship to time, you know.

So when I feel the spirit upon me it's something I don't take it for granted, and I don't think I'm solely responsible for these things.
