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

The BBC, during its 24 hours on the air, plays a very wide range of stuff. And it's not commercial.

A wah-wah is important as well. I love it; it makes the guitar scream.

Oddly enough, Hendrix is not my favorite guitar player. There are very few guitar players I get feeling from.

I don't tend to have a favorite album; I tend to have favorite tracks. There are flaws in every album that spoil it for me.

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

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