If you can play well in the studio, you can play well on stage.

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.

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

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

Pete Townshend used to crash chords and let the guitar feed back. He's overrated.

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

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