Combing my hair doesn't make me a better musician.

In my early days, I never used finger vibrato at all. I originally carved my reputation as one of the 'fast' guitar players.

I can never remember what I do even in the studio.

The cello is such a melancholy instrument, such an isolated, miserable instrument.

Learning to play with a big amplifier is like trying to control an elephant.

I don't play by those rules; I'm my own worst enemy sometimes. There's something in me that has to go against the grain. You know, I don't like to be a dead fish, swimming with all the other dead fish, I like to go upstream sometimes, against the flow.

Those record companies don't know what's happening at all.
