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

I write songs because I have to write them, and if I didn't I'd be doing some other kind of music that didn't require a song.

I just feel like the songs that come out are the songs that come.

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

I think a solo moves forward the way a song does, because it's reflective of the chords that I'm considering as I'm soloing, and at the same time I'm going as much out on a limb as Frank Zappa used to, in terms of just going crazy on the instrument.
