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.

I will obviously take on board everything from my past, I always do.

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

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

I go through about two Fender mediums a night because I don't pick straight down; it's sort of sideways, and it shaves them off.

I can't say I feel influenced by today's guitar players.

People often say very, very nice, complimentary things. But I think it's better if you don't take that too much to heart.
