When you get a chance to play with people - informally is one thing, but when you hook up and make something that's going to last or mean something to someone, I take it very seriously.

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

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

I really love that type of music where someone can take a guitar or light instrumentation and a beautiful voice and can send me somewhere.

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.

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

You run the risk of falling on your face, but, again, music is an individual pursuit - it is made to please yourself first.
