I've got very strong hands from playing for many years.

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.

I don't tend to have a favorite album; I tend to have favorite tracks. There are flaws in every album that spoil it for me.

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

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 was very keen on people like Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Gene Vincent.
