I was always one of those guys who was a seeker after truth. I want to know what's going on.

I have a deep love for life and my fellow human beings. I try to understand everything that everybody does, even if it seems wrong to me.

If you want to be a virtuoso then you have to set your sights above me. You have to go beyond what I'm doing. And that's for you to figure out. Because if you can do that, then I'm going to be trying to go beyond you.

I loved the guitar, and I had all of this music in my head. My passion for the guitar and the ideas for what I could create musically were equal. So that's where I was.

Make an exercise out of everything you can’t do.

So that's the challenge for me and that has always been the challenge - finding that melody, that riff, that thing that just lights me up and makes me feel like it's Christmas.
