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 can't imagine ever going back to working with somebody else.

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

When you start believing you're something special, then you're not going to be striving to move forward.

It's great to have something you can be proud of.

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

I think the fundamental part of my technique is my vibrato.
