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.

The drive to create music that is pure is my highest priority. Sometimes I'll get extremely technical, and other times I'll just kind of go with the gods of music.

But I think I know just as many creative people who've never taken drugs in their life as I do who have taken a lot of drugs.

But I have been avoiding talking about what I'm doing now because it's frustrating for people to hear about things that aren't available yet.

I never feel like I'm running out of ideas, because it is clear to me - music is infinite

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

It’s, it’s like I’m in the fourth dimension and somebody is asking me to describe it verbally and that’s what the fourth dimension is all about, is no words, no symbols, no images, all pure, real energy and vibrations. And, and if I thought about how cruel of a world this is, I would probably just commit suicide after a while, if that was what I spent my energy thinking about. I would definitely not have any strength left to create music.
