Your sound is in your hands as much as anything. It's the way you pick, and the way you hold the guitar, more than it is the amp or the guitar you use.

Some of us can be examples about going ahead and growing, and some of us, unfortunately, don't make it there, and end up being examples because they had to die. I hit rock bottom, but thank God my bottom wasn't death.

I kept listening, kept going to see people, kept sitting in with people, kept listening to records. If I wanted to learn somebody's stuff, like with Clapton, when I wanted to learn how he was getting some of his sounds - which were real neat - I learned how to make the sounds with my mouth and then copied that with my guitar.

I actually wanted to be a drummer, but I didn't have any drums.

Looking back in front of me, in the mirror a grin. Through eyes of love I see, I'm only looking at a friend.

I love my baby like the finest wine, I'll stick with her until the end of time.

I play as many different things - piano, sax and harp parts - as I can at once. Whatever I can fit, whenever I need to.
