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

I don't tend to stand still for very long.

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.

The States still has the best audiences by far.

Radio is commercial, isn't it. Its a business.

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.
