If you can keep learning, you can still do your thing, and keep singing or whatever, and still do innovative things.

I can go to India and draw 20,000 people at a concert, and it's really because I've built up an internet presence.

I know what it's like being with a major label. But I've always wanted to do things differently. And when I found out that the internet was a digital medium that could transfer binary code, the 0s and 1s - which is what a CD is - I knew it was only a matter of time before the feed would be fast enough to transfer files.

At age ten I switched to guitar, and I've loved the instrument ever since. And I love to practice. I just do. I just love guitar. It still brings a smile to my face!

I wanted to be like my heroes, but I also wanted to be me.

Going on You Tube, you see a lot of my videos. And I'm glad; there's numbers there. And I get this all the time, that when I'm actually in concert, there's a whole new level to it. There's this whole new energy level. It's hard to describe. But I just love to play, and I never take it for granted.

I think no matter how much you learn, there's always more to learn.
