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

I go for as much feeling as I can rather than show what I can do up and down the neck. I don't play to show people ability.

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

The first real thing I heard was Three O'Clock Blues by B.B. King. That's where it all began for me.

I remember the snow in Canada and the lovely weather in New Zealand. And I slightly remember going to school there.

The ability to make music is a gift that you're born with; it's not something you can learn.

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