Once I've settled on something I'll stay with that at least throughout the whole tour.

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.

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

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

The States still has the best audiences by far.

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

To me there's a definite way of doing a song. If I didn't think that, I wouldn't have done it that way in the first place.
