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

I criticize my own work pretty harshly.

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.

Hendrix inspired me, but I was still more into Wes Montgomery. I was also into the Allman Brothers around the time of those albums.

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

I like leaping around on stage as long as it's done with class. None of this jumping up in the air and doing the splits

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