I took care of myself. Basically I'm a vegetarian, I run every day, I exercise. I kind of control my living habits. I try to get a good night's sleep every night, I don't stay up all night and do all that stuff.

If you're going to get into music, you've got to learn the 12-bar blues.

My first really good guitar was a Gibson J-45.

That rich guy you've been seeing, must have put you down. Welcome back baby, to the poor side of town.

I've got a Fender Concert amp from the '60s, the one Joe Osborn used. He played his bass through it.

I'd gone through periods where I didn't work live performances for probably seven or eight months at a time.

About two months into the Whisky, I borrowed some money and rented a remote recording truck.
