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

I can do the old hand vibrato just fine, but I like attacking the strings.

I was impressed by Hendrix. Not so much by his playing, as his attitude - he wasn't a great player, but everything else about him was brilliant.

I've always played every amp I've ever had full up, because rock and roll is supposed to be played loud. Also, that's how you get your sustain.

I can imagine that Rod Stewart likes giving autographs because he's pure showbusiness.

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

When something is not good, it's bad. Period
