Sometimes it takes just living your life a certain way to be able to open yourself to the rhythm of the cosmos.

Yeah, I really like being alive. But I definitely don't have any intentions as an artist.

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

For me, theory has always opened things up to where I can walk into a room and just by hearing something I know exactly where to go on the guitar. I have a better time playing because I have a variety of colors to bring to the table.

To me music is the centre of the universe and the voice of the spirits and the voice of God and the voice of all the people who have lived and died...At least the ones I'm connected to.

My music, my whole approach to the synthesizer has completely changed now.

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.
