I go for as much feeling as I can rather than show what I can do up and down the neck. I don't play to show people ability.

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

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

I wouldn't count myself as being a true blues guitarist because I feel you have to live it.

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

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

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