I got a guitar when I was about 14, for a Christmas present, and went from there.

I have done some things that I'm very proud of. I don't think you can say any more than that, really.

Once you start copying other people's licks, you begin thinking they're yours. Doing that's just an easy way out.

If you want to do rock and roll, forget about those who've come after '65.

There's more power in the simpler things, I think.

It was an experience being on a Beatles tour. They weren't very good. The singing was great, but the playing was a bit weak.

During my early period I had custom-made overdrive stuff because I didn't like what they were making at the time.
