A life lived unexplored is a life not worth living.

I'm very fortunate to be doing the thing I do best, which is play guitar. There aren't many other things I could do.

I would have to say I'm bored with the standard rock, guitar solos, but I've done it for five albums now, and this time I wanted to go in a completely different direction. I wasn't interested in showing off any more.

When you're first starting out, there's always the temptation to hide behind distortion because it lets you get away with murder. But, when it comes to rhythm work, you've gotta back off that gain control a bit, especially if you're playing with another guitarist.

We wanted to offer something new to our audience. I hate it when bands stop taking chances.

Jeff Beck is one of my heroes and has been since I first picked up a guitar.

My musical tastes change every week.
