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

It's great to have something you can be proud of.

If you feel people getting on about what you are doing, it gives you a lift.

I didn't want to get attached to one guitar; I didn't want to have an instrument that was irreplaceable.

I think the fundamental part of my technique is my vibrato.

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

It gives me a good feeling to know that people out there really care.
