I think when you're young and you get together with a group of guys who think like you and you start to make something that moves you as a group of people and you have a common goal, that's an exciting time.

I'm a very private person. What I did in the past or what somebody heard me do or has a bootleg of me doing...well, if you have a bootleg, then I did it.

I've never presented myself as anything less than a flawed person.

I've always been a fan of album covers with no writing on them and have used them a lot in my own groups.

If tears were liquor/ I'd have drunk myself sick.

The absence of a bass player always makes things go faster and hit harder in the high-end range.

It's like soul music, isn't it all soul music? Otherwise what is it, non-soul music? I-have-no-soul music? Soulless music? People need to put a name on something to identify it, and I understand it.
