If I have to go around telling everyone how great I am, then there's something wrong with my act.

I don't know of a guitar player that has only one guitar. They're never happy with one. I'm never happy with just one of them. I woke up and ended up with six, even if you can only play one at a time!

.. the guitar is just a wonderful instrument. It's everything: a bartender, a psychiatrist, a housewife. It's everything, but it's elusive

A guitar is something you can hold and love and it's never going to bug you. But here's the secret about the guitar - it's defiant. It will never let you conquer it. The more you get involved with it, the more you realize how little you know.

The audience, they're not professionals. They just love music. It isn't necessary to play over their heads to be admired.

Every setback might be the very thing that makes you carry on and fight all the harder and become much better.

To this day, no one has come up with a set of rules for originality. There aren't any.
