If you stay up, you get the songs that everyone else misses because they're asleep.

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.

I don't regret nuthin.

I can sustain the impetus over the long tours we do is by feeding off the energy that we get back from an audience. That's my fuel. All i've got is this burning energy, especially when i've got a guitar in my hands.

The electric guitar was vital in helping what I've achieved where would I be without it? Playing awfully quietly, for a start.

If you've gotta think about being cool, you ain't cool.

I am not doing it just for the money or for you.I am doing it for me.
