People often say very, very nice, complimentary things. But I think it's better if you don't take that too much to heart.

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

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 say I feel influenced by today's guitar players.

There's more power in the simpler things, I think.

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.
