Rap - so many words, so little said.

When I started, all I wanted to do was play like Chuck (Berry)

To me, the main thing about living on this planet is to know who the hell you are and be real about it. That's the reason I'm still alive.

The public library is the great equaliser.

What interested me about Chuck Berry was the way he could step out of the rhythm part with such ease, throwing in a nice, simple riff, and then drop straight into the feel of it again. We used to play a lot more rhythm stuff. We'd do away with the differences between lead and rhythm guitar. You can't go into a shop and ask for a "lead guitar". You're a guitar player, and you play a guitar.

There's a certain moment when you realize that you've actually just left the planet for a bit and that nobody can touch you. . .When it works, baby, you've got wings.

Women are a beautiful complication, and I look forward to far more beauties and far more complications.
