I don't use the twang bar anymore. It's become too popular.

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.

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

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.

The only way you can get good, unless you're a genius, is to copy. That's the best thing. Just steal.

I have never met one person who likes Grand Funk.
