Acting, at least for me, is very unreal, and when I'm doing it, I actually feel embarrassed.

I like my voice, but I can't deliver as much as I wish I could.

If you want to play something that you hear, you need to listen with your mind's eye. You've heard of the mind's eye, right? Your mind has an ear too. It's a kind of listening, but it's not using your ears to listen. It's listening with your inner ear, and that's what you want to translate onto the guitar.

The guitar is the coolest instrument in the world.

The level of achievement that we have at anything, is a reflection, of how well, we were able to focus on it. Because the only thing that's holding you back, is the way you're thinking.

You can never deny the immense talent, rock credibility and iconic historical contribution that Van Halen made.
