My first guitar, a Fender Jazz Master, I traded it in for a Les Paul Deluxe.

I've had to work very hard, and I don't really have a category or fit into any niche, so each time I come out with a new record, it's like, I'm a new guy.

I made the record that my life had me make. Each one is like a diary.

I come in with this rock 'n' roll-oriented music, and it's not black enough . . . I've always had to deal with this black-white thing.

I was taught by my grandfather that anything that your mind can conceive, you can have. It's a reality.

I'm looking forward to going out at the concert with a clear head, with a clear mind, with a clear spirit and experiencing whatever it is. It's great.

I do my best to try to keep God with me on a personal level. It's my belief that God really wants a personal relationship with us.
