My love life is like everyone else's - great, and then terrible.

The things I really learned, I learned from watching my parents. They take care of business. Always have.

After a while I thought it didn't make any sense to use a pick. It's kind of like typing with one finger on each hand instead of using all your fingers.

The simple things in life ground me and keep me focused so Im able to do a good job with what is in front of me.

It is hard for a black man to just be himself. We spend so much time in defense of something that is indefensible because there is nothing to defend.

I wish I could sing. I love singers, but I am way too shy. Scares the hell out of me.

In most places that are rich in guitar culture, everyone uses their fingers, like in Spain or Africa. In Japan there are string instruments played that way. It is not until you get in the States that you find people using picks.
