I learn stuff from making music every time I go in the studio. I'm continuing to try to find new ways to play in a song or be in a song and have a positive impact on a song.

Raising awareness, changing the marketplace, effecting spiritual change - whatever it is that you decide is your thing, go for it.

The focus of my playing is the groove, and every time I find a new rhythm, I find I can write a bunch of new songs. Learning how to dance, or drum, or to swing my body in a new way is the fundamental way I find a new riff. Because when you learn to swing your body in a new way, you begin to swing with your instrument differently.

I picked up a guitar, and I knew what I wanted to do.

I'm in a rock band - I don't have a day job! I am spoiled... a lot.

It's a perfectly human instinct to want to be near water.

I think people will always love a heavy Sabbath riff because it's fundamental to rock.
