If all you've got is somebody else's stuff that you've lifted, nothing really deep, then it is going to thin out.

It's impossible to play a run with as much feeling as a single note. I've never been so much into runs as making single notes cry.

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

I think it's a sensible thing not to read your fan mail - not to take it too seriously.

Music has nothing to do with your technical ability.

I use a combination of all my influences on my albums.

There are no plans to do any more live stuff. I really feel like there's enough live shows out there.
