I didn't sit down and work out other people's material; I've never believed in that.

The first real thing I heard was Three O'Clock Blues by B.B. King. That's where it all began for me.

A certain death of an artist is overconfidence.

A wah-wah is important as well. I love it; it makes the guitar scream.

I have short hands. That's why I have to bend up to notes; I can't always reach the frets.

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

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