I'm all for sharing music, but when people can download a whole record and pay nothing for it and then they share it with 100,000 other people, it's breaking down the whole business.

I try to look at most of my solos as a musical piece within the song, not, say, showing off.

I just want to thank everyone for their support. Sometimes friends need the help of their friends to get by.

Embrace every challenge you have, every person you meet, every place you visit, every task you succeed at, and especially those at which you fail. You will learn from them all. You'll learn about the world at large and about other people but most important, you'll learn about yourself.

You know, when you're an actor, you want to go to Hollywood. When you're a musician, you want to go to Nashville.
