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

I try to put the same spirit into that that I put into any other music endeavor I'm involved in.

I'm not interested in meeting people's expectations, and I'm not interested in pleasing people.

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

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

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

When I smile at the audience, I'm not smiling because I was told that you're supposed to smile to the audience. I smile because they're all smiling at me, and it's a great feeling to see all these happy people out there, and it makes me happy to see them happy.
