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

I feel that my playing on the first album was probably some of my best.

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

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

Music has nothing to do with your technical ability.

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

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