If you feel people getting on about what you are doing, it gives you a lift.

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.

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.

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

The guitar part is the pivot of everything we do, so if you change the guitar part you no longer have what it is.

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