Session work makes you more strict. You can't hit notes all over the place. You've got to make each one really count.

If a ballet dancer falls over, it's knowing how to get out looking clumsy that counts.

Playing a Fender is an art itself. They're always going out of tune.

I have never met one person who likes Grand Funk.

When I was 20, I didn't give a damn about song construction. I just wanted to make as much noise and play as fast and as loud as possible.

I'm not good enough, technically, to be a classic musician. I lack discipline.

I don't see myself as such an important guitarist.
