I remember the snow in Canada and the lovely weather in New Zealand. And I slightly remember going to school 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 was very keen on people like Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Gene Vincent.

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

A certain death of an artist is overconfidence.

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.

My songs are more arrangements than they are songs.
